Great to hear Sam talk about how happiness and race results aren’t intertwined for him now… I wish some other YouTubing pros wouldn’t tie their mental health and moods to injury status and wins. There’s so much to have gratitude for.
When Sam Long first started I didn’t like him much but I think he has matured so much and now he is a great guy and athlete to watch. I’m glad for him and his family. On another note, I agree with Bob about Lionel’s decision of doing another Ironman before Kona. I think is an unnecessary risk.
We filmed it last Thursday and Sam decided to do Kona on Monday of this week….since 16 or so of the pros are already Kona qualified, Sam should be joining us with Ponchoman at Huggo’s on the Rocks this October!!
Sam long fan here. Not sure it matters to fans where he finishes as long as his presence is felt. Too bad for IM that he won’t be at Kona! Unlike the T100, I’m not confident that the best of the best are as fully represented as possible at the WC events.

Nothing like winning a race to get gas money to drive to the pool....great conversation with Sam the Man

Such an awesome interview. Great to hear such a refreshing perspective while turning himself inside out for the "W".
Great athlete!! All the best at IM Frankfurt next weekend!
I guess this was filmed before Frankfurt decision.

Looks like he changed his mind after this interview as he is now towing the line in Frankfurt for a Kona spot :)
Yep....we recorded this on Thursday, and on Monday Sam decided to race Frankfurt.
So sad no not see Sam Long in Kona
He’s racing Frankfurt to try and get there
Thanks!
