Lionel gonna crush it !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I hope that’s a hint haha…would love to see it.

Was that you man "YOU BETTER FUCKING GO LIONEL"? 😂😂

100%

I did except it seemed a bit staged lol

@@davidkaplan5517 Everyone reacts in their own ways to pushing their bodies that far into a really dark place. Given his emotional reactions at the finish line in many of his races, I don't think that it seems out of character for him to react that way to an ultra intense workout. No way to be completely sure....but there aren't many people in the world that can suffer as long and as hard as Lionel.

Maybe he’s not crying because of the pain but more because of the dark places some people have to take themselves mentally to reach that level of intensity.

@@chrisgilligan4968 I don’t think the behavior is out of character but he was being filmed it wasn’t organic. I think the documentary in general seemed like it was trying to be a hype video and they were sorta acting the part vs. just it speaking for itself.

That statement by Sanders is blatantly not true - a little hyperbole is fine in sport but silly self promoting statements like are...well silly. Lionel has a tendency to put himself up on a pedestal as somehow being tougher and braver than other athletes - he isnt.

@@amblincork True. That's what makes him Lionel though! Jan Frodeno's comes across as totally cool; "He hasn't beaten me yet and he hasn't gone home on a stretcher"

@@fkhan98 I like watching Lionel and always hopes he does well in races and as I said a bit of hyperbole is fine - and Lionel has a sense of dignity totally lacking in Sam Long - but there comes a point when I have to say - ease up on this B'S hyperbole - this is only about sport - albeit professional sport - and Ironman is far from being the most arduous sport - 24 runners died this year in an Ultra marthon in China. And there have been Ironmans where Lionel decided he couldnt even be arsed taking in proper liquid and nutrition !! To be fair , both Lionel and Jan walked a great portion of marathons where they had difficulties and they finished which shows a great deal of respect to their sport and says a lot of good things about both of them as persons...I better stop now before I start praising them too much !!

@@amblincork agreed

Go for it mate!

You have no idea where this is gonna take you mate. Go for it.

Couldn’t have said it better, John!

Wrong triathlon is all endurance training, strength maybe 10%

@@pilantra2000 mental strength is a massive factor more than 10% in my opinion

No one cares what you think

But yes it is good and that matters because I think it.

I have many years in the triathlon business, with many 70.3 events under my belt. It is not easy, but I cringe when someone says it is the toughest sport on the planet. It is not, and there are many other people, doing equally difficult and challenging activities. I respect whatever sport you choose to do, so long as you give it your best.

Good observing. Looks like you do a lot of observing….. from the sideline.

@@dbo4506 Six marathons and one ultra.

​@stevestarr9769 now imagine before u run that marathon that u say is difficult, bike 100km and swim several.kms then do the marathon lol we 100% can objectively see whats more difficult. Example which race? Barkley marathon is.1000x harder than boston lol example

​@@donshaffer4169Sorry but marathon, cycling, and open sea swimming are already tough in themselves. Imagine doing all three in a single race. It may not be the toughest, but definitely among the top on the list of the toughest.

Keep going!

100% I did triathlon for 10 years, but, nothing seamed to develop after some huge growth early on with the sport. This cup and similar initiatives could get the growth back on track for sure
