Lionel is such a fascinating star because in spite of all of his undeniable gifts... he makes mistakes - human mistakes. It's like... a Superman story is boring because he's so unbeatable... but a Batman or Spiderman story will always be exciting because they are mortal, vulnerable and fallible. Lionel - your fallibility makes your Superman-level ability relatable to the rest of us mortals. Thank you for sharing so much of your incredible journey with us! And Talbot - you're awesome too!

May not need anymore motivation then..."I'm sick of walking down that damn Queen K..." - LS

You're such a huge inspiration. I went through hip surgery this summer and while browsing on youtube I stumbled upon one of your videos. Your self-reflection is something I mirror in my life, and because of you I'm training for Copenhagen 70.3 in June. All the best, and a huge applause for the impact you have on others.

All this footage over the last 2 years is gonna make for a great documentary when Lionel wins Kona in 2020

INSPIRING! You live and breathe my own motto in life which is "Never Stop Improving" and this is why I am such a big fan of you Lionel. Keep doing what you are doing mate. I plan to see you in Kona 2020 again as one of your biggest AG fans. Huge respect!

As a scientist as well as an ironman I would guess your body reacts different when you are in normal vs in peak shape.

The empty streets look funny now! :)

So glad not only you jogged back to finish line in Daytona but also chasing down other guys the entire trip. Look forward to your Kona performance in Feb.

Like being a fly on the wall while Lionel and coach DTD discuss fitness & nutrition testing in Kona 👍

Lionel you’re the man!

Superinsightful! Thanks guys.

Very inspiring thank you all

You are the best!

Man. I feel like we do this every year.

Dissection- you blew it.

Train your running style!!! It will save time, energy and be better for the body.

The aim to 'be and become a better person' for yourself, in sport AND in live, makes your journey, in my eyes, so highly interesting. It's like storytelling in real live, containing action, obstacles, fails and victories - the hero is you, the mentor your trainer. Live is no straight line and triathlon isn't that too, especially on the highest world class level. To collect all this data is one more step to fight that shadow of insecureness and change it into a more stable self-confidence. Analyzing the data is the job of your trainer / mentor now. As a trainer / mentor he can bring more balance in the whole system. As an athlete / hero it could be your chance to listen. In storytelling it's this kind of clue that the hero accepts from the mentor, that gives the whole story it's ongoing direction. As I said, it's' highly interesting to follow your journey. Thanks for sharing! And thanks at Talbot for doing all this wonderful work!

I have that same lime green watch strap for my Garmin 😅 Kind of regret it as it doesn't match with anything, but makes it so easy to find my watch; used to lose my watch with the black strap (especially when groggy in the morning).

Looking good in those @FORM goggles @
