I raced a local event over the weekend and these are my post-race thoughts after the event and pre-race thoughts heading into Ironman Mt. Tremblant this coming weekend.
Oh my gosh!!! Can everyone please “LIKE” this comment and congratulate my apprentice in training! Aka THE ERIN SANDERS! She shot and edited & posted this! LETS GOOOO!!!!
Yeah,I'm sure he was like, I bet this I'm going to crush it over at Tecumseh Tri this weekend, when a someone mentions "did you hear, Lionel is doing it too!" , foiled again!
Actually no, my husband finished second and he knew Lionel was going to be there. Every year Lionel comes and he is actually a friend. So, no big surprise. He knows he is going to be second but he still loves trying to bridge the gap a bit ;) My husband actually said he was second at the end of the race but first human, lol.
How can you not root for Lionel. He never gave up..just like Sebi and Jan. All three are better than ever and looking terrific since returning to racing after very serious injuries. I hope LS qualifies for Kona...what a show that will be!
So awesome to be able to follow your story. Had a race in Calgary this past weekend and went to freshii for the first time. Best place ever! So cool you have them as a sponsor.
Great video! Can see that fire in your eyes! I'll be looking for you to fly past me on the bike course in Tremblant (first IM for me)! Good luck! Hope to see you at the finish line giving out medals!
Good analysis on the early part of the swim... I went out in a 1:02 'in an 800 and it burned me hard. Went out in 1:04 high in the 1500 the next day and my 800 split was 0.2 faster and I was able to maintain that more or less for another 700m
I heard it said on the last video and I’ll reiterate...a fresh, newly run formed Lionel Sanders is a massive concern for any field. I’m seriously looking forward to the bike pain cave videos to come...old school Lion style!
i've never seen that they just give u the medal.. they usually put it on you.. looked like.. a bit weird! Nice to see you back racing! Congrats and hope you kill it again in the future! :)
@mattvo2 Yeah, don't wanna be disrespectful or anything like that but I am stoked right now because I don't know him a lot and the first thing which came into my mind is that he has a pretty addictive mindset to training, which isn't bad at all. As someone who has struggled with addiction myself I truely think that he is sooo inspiring and uplifting.
Qualifying for Kona shouldn't be too hard at IMMT. Cody Beals is already KQed, so 2nd will be enough, and no offence to the other pros racing IMMT, none of them are in the same league as Cody Beals and you.
Not exactly, he needs to beat everyone that doesn't have a spot. In practical terms, he could get 2nd after Cody Beal and still qualify since Cody already have a slot for Kona. And that's what he probably will try to do, no point trying to race Beal for the win (unless he si very close at the end).
@@ckwong03 No problem. I think it's kind of a big deal for Lionel. Not having to beat Cody, that seems to be very strong rn, is huge. But Lionel is Lionel, if he has a chance, he will go for it.
Take a look at the results: results.raceroster.com/results/wyevxauc7kefhvng and see finisher nr 14. She finished the 6km in 2:42 per km. Surely that is a mistake because that is faster than world record pace on the 5k :P
Oh my gosh!!! Can everyone please “LIKE” this comment and congratulate my apprentice in training! Aka THE ERIN SANDERS! She shot and edited & posted this! LETS GOOOO!!!!
her videos are better than yours chief. I like how there was no techno shit loud music making me go deaf
She's a better cook than you too bro 😘
I was just thinking how good she is doing with these. Nice work Erin!!
Definitely agree. First Lionel video I haven’t had to mute.
I love Talbot's videos but Way To Go Erin!!! Nice steady camera work and great edit! 👌
Imagine showing up feeling confident and suddenly you see Lionel and it’s like “aw damn” 🤣
The second place guy probably wishing he picked a different event
Yeah,I'm sure he was like, I bet this I'm going to crush it over at Tecumseh Tri this weekend, when a someone mentions "did you hear, Lionel is doing it too!" , foiled again!

@@coxy3774 LOL that's too funny. I would not mind coming in second to Lionel.
Ahhh I remember the good old days of coming 2nd to Lionel in a local 5km race. It doesn’t matter that there was a 6 minute gap. 2nd is 2nd lol
@@coxy3774 that's the spirit!
Lionel's honesty and transparency are unmatched.
How can you not root for Lionel. He never gave up..just like Sebi and Jan. All three are better than ever and looking terrific since returning to racing after very serious injuries. I hope LS qualifies for Kona...what a show that will be!
Your running looked great. Didn’t see a Jim Furykesque hitch in your form. Looked smooth.
Never heard anyone, including Lionel himself, ever referring to his running style a smooth 😂
I'd really love to see you talk about the supplements you take and what you do to improve recovery.
Your videos are the best motivational tool 👍
Dude, you looked amazing yesterday!!! The community is behind you
You reached a new lvl with that improved running form.
How nice of them to put on that entire race just for you....
"I average 346 watts"😳😳.dafuq, my interval is 5x5mins 300watts and my chest about to explode
The Bisayan Pedal lmao I’m 16 and do 5x1 min at 300 5x 1 min 250 then same for 200 how much rest do you take?
The moustache is back.... to the moon!!!!
So awesome to be able to follow your story. Had a race in Calgary this past weekend and went to freshii for the first time. Best place ever! So cool you have them as a sponsor.
It's awesome to see you out there doing your thing. Your run form looks great. Consistency is key!!! 💪🏽 #NoLimits
You will do well,because you're a fighter.Stay healthy and best luck,Lionel.
Thanks for reaching a local event without all the hype. One of the reasons I dig watching Lionel.
Awsome not many sport you can race with top pros this is why i love triathlon. Gun goes beat yourself job done.luv the videos thanks for sharing.
So excited to see you back racing! Can’t wait to watch you in Kona after yesterday!

Welcome back mate. You smashed and you will do it!
Good to see you happy. Wish you the best of luck moving forward
Great job, Lionel. Really good to see you overcome the injury and get back on form!
Great video! Can see that fire in your eyes! I'll be looking for you to fly past me on the bike course in Tremblant (first IM for me)! Good luck! Hope to see you at the finish line giving out medals!

Congrats Lionel! good work, glad to see you has a good first race back!
Savage!! Crush Mt. Tremblant !!
Good luck with the Iron Man. Also loving the videos, I get great motivation from them!
Looking strong sanders! Unleash the beast 😈
I heard it said on the last video and I’ll reiterate...a fresh, newly run formed Lionel Sanders is a massive concern for any field. I’m seriously looking forward to the bike pain cave videos to come...old school Lion style!
Good to see you racing again Lionel! Good luck in your next race!
Thanks for sharing :) Really just waiting to see the BEAST Released!
I can’t wait to see you pass me on the bike course of mont Tremblant!!!!!! You will be on 2nd loop I will be on first
Great inspiration, good luck on the Ironman this weekend.

I friggin love your videos!!!!! Your so relatable!
The take away... the stache equals victory!
wellcome back!! :)
What was your injury my friend ..I haven’t watched you in a while but I sure like your heart felt reviews to your efforts good and bad.
As a competitor, spectator, fan of the sport... would've been cool to see you randomly race at one of my local events..
Awesome!
I love these videos i feel like they refuel my fire when i need it most.. First event is on the 17th 5days away....
Good luck dude
Good luck.
Congrats Li, good luck dude.

That new suit is looking Freshii!
Wish you 1st place on an upcoming event!
go go go you deserve everything
Hey Lionel, do you drink? I would love to hear your opinion in a vid about drinking and sports :) Keep on rocking, you are a huge inspiration!
@mattvo2 you are kidding?
@mattvo2 Yeah, don't wanna be disrespectful or anything like that but I am stoked right now because I don't know him a lot and the first thing which came into my mind is that he has a pretty addictive mindset to training, which isn't bad at all. As someone who has struggled with addiction myself I truely think that he is sooo inspiring and uplifting.
@mattvo2 thx buddy, i will
Glad I'm a track runner so I don't have to race against u cuz u were looking smooth as anything in the race
Qualifying for Kona shouldn't be too hard at IMMT.
Cody Beals is already KQed, so 2nd will be enough, and no offence to the other pros racing IMMT, none of them are in the same league as Cody Beals and you.
Great Job Erin!
Hell Yeah!!! Kick it in MT!!!
that run form looks way improved
Your run is looking really good
Good Job Lionel!
Run form looking good!!
This was the best video yet, Erin is so much better than Talbot
Preston Kunz “you’re fired”
Great 👍 , i think u will win Kona this time and next event to get the Kona ticket
Nice!!
Ok the question is, who the HECK is Michelle Zambri? She ran a 16:12 6k?? Is that a typo?
Run form looked top dollar if you can sustain that 😎
Why the band-aid on left arm, radial artery?
bestbigboi he was drug tested after the race. WADA came to his house. #cleansport
@@TalbotCoxMedia thanks for the reply! You rock!
Running is looking good!
Good thinking Lionel. Not about the result in these tune up races. You won't come last next year ;)
IMMT here we go!
Hope to meet you at IM MT.
Do you have a video with more of the Iron Race
Ohhh happy to see you race again
🙏😁
Time to get back were you belong
On 🔝❤️🤙💪
keep it up!
Zero dislikes? Seriously? Wow! 365 : 0
Can anyone help me out: So he does need to win in Mont Tremblant to qualify for Kona? Is that correct? That´s quite a tall task, if so.
Gaius Velleius that’s correct. No pressure Lionel! 😬
Not exactly, he needs to beat everyone that doesn't have a spot. In practical terms, he could get 2nd after Cody Beal and still qualify since Cody already have a slot for Kona. And that's what he probably will try to do, no point trying to race Beal for the win (unless he si very close at the end).
Yariel Suarez thank you. I forgot Cody got his spot at Chattanooga last year.
@@ckwong03 No problem. I think it's kind of a big deal for Lionel. Not having to beat Cody, that seems to be very strong rn, is huge.
But Lionel is Lionel, if he has a chance, he will go for it.
Hey huge fan, but did you really run 3:10 per k or did you mean 4:10 per k ?
go get em this week lionel!
Event link woukd be good.

You didn’t tell us if you won or not?
So did you win ? 😉
He did, by 7 minutes :p
