Talbot here! In this week's video, Lionel and I are catching up on his journey back to Ironman racing after taking a year off. It’s been a wild 2,429 days since Lionel's last Ironman win at Arizona in 2017, and we’re diving into how he's prepping for his comeback. We chat about his new training methods, the much-needed break he took, and how he's balancing it all with family life

  • Don't destroy yourself in Lake Placid. It's your training session for Kona. Like you said, "The peak comes in October". Love it. Listening to you speak is bringing out the 2017 Kona vibes. You have no idea how many people you're going to make cry if you win Kona. Wishing you all the best.

    Never let another athletes training get in your head. A Belgium newspaper wrote a nice article about it in 2019. It's called Stravanoia.
  • Hey Lionel and Talbot. Love the content and the open honest thoughts I’ve been following the channel since the days up in Windsor. This is totally unrelated but It looked like you might not have a fence around your pool at you house and seeing your amazing little guy out there freaked me out. I am a fire captain in Arizona and have seen so many unfortunate outcomes with little ones and unfenced pools here in our state. I know you guys are amazing parents and by no means am I trying to preach to you nor would I try and tell anyone how to parent their children. Just something that may not be in the forefront of your mind coming from a place that doesn’t have many pools and drowning cases. Wish you all the best with training and your lovely family!

    Can't wait to see you blow past me on the bike course! Race your race , chase that W and if it happens, it happed because your training is on point. Good luck from a fellow Canuck!

  • I CANNOT WAIT, TOO...IMLP OR BUST!! I'll be peeling wetsuits and praying, LS! God bless the journey, Megan 🙏🙏 ps. Levi = most adorable kiddo ❤
  • Hey, Lionel, I'd love to hesr more about your story before you got into the sport. You talked about it before, but I think a video dedicated to that may help many youngsters who are trying to stay away from trouble. Your story is inspiring!
  • @KiwiBigfoot
    Cool to hear you sounding super confident and in a good place!
  • @mrskreesma
    I'm in a very challenging period of my life and motivation is absent... thank you for inspiring me

    Hey Lionel, good luck on Sunday at LP! You'll ride right past North Country School/Camp Treetops! The kids will be out there cheering you (and all the competitors)! Give them a wave if you can!
