@TheTrailRabbit was saying that so more people can come into the sport and see how difficult it is to train and actually win a race. It's nice to see what happens behind the scenes.
@@TheTrailRabbit they're just asking for behind the scene stuff for these professional athletes, you're making it seem like any video that santara tech posts is the norwegians 'acting' . get a grip
Of course go all in. You have been there for a month to prepare, tomorrow is never guaranteed. You won't regret trying to achieve your dream of winning. Ride the razor's edge and do what you do best, race. Good luck.
We are so lucky to have this series. I've never felt so a part of the build up to a Kona world championship as I have with this run of the series. Thanks Talbot and Lionel for bringing us along!
Lionel you are an inspiration to all of us. You deserve to be there. Represent Canada well my brother. Win or lose you are making a huge difference in many peoples lives.
I love this guy!! Lionel, get out of your own way. You aren't "the RUclips handout." Run *YOUR* race! Don't let other people dictate your terms. A lion is aggression under control. You've put work in the deposits, now it's time to make the withdrawal. We're rooting for you!
this is my favorite series on youtube. Talbot, you've really taken it up a notch. From the incredible editing to the perfectly timed Norwegian Method ad reads... beautiful.
Lionel. You HAVE to go all in. You are not getting any younger and these young guys are flying. If you have good legs early in the bike take advantage and take some chances!! Man I'm rooting for you harder then I ever have a person/team in my life . I'm gonna cry if you win!! Let's go, Lionel!! Put it on the line!!
I’m nervous and excited for Lionel! Rooting for the aggressive approach! Whatever the outcome is he will not be happy and that’s what we love about him!
Von Berg - that was Florida. No shot. Don’t hold back LS. This may be your last big race. Don’t sleep on T Foley! Should be a fun race. Love the behind the scenes. Killer videos!
Good Luck Lionel, just go out there and race your race and hope you have a great day out there. You have made this sport so enjoyable and interesting, more than any other triathlete for years. Its been a privilege for us all to watch you train and race all these years! Thank you for all of it and im sure it's fair I say We All Wish You Luck in Kicking Today's @$$ !! 😀 Good Luck!
My triathlon coach always said race the race in front of you. Catch the person in front of you, and then try catch the next person. Eventually you finish in the best spot you can. Good luck.
The whole series is Brilliant! I love the infomercials haha....did you get a pro voice actor for that?😂 it's perfect mix of beautiful shots and stories, bts mood.....really really good
Well...we all know by now. Not doubt about he is a hard working athlete and all my admiration and respect. But ironman ( Kona ) takes all what you worked for and more.
Very good self evaluation from Lionel. From what I have seen from him since 2017, I would use the opportunity to go all in at least trying to catch front pack before Hawi. Even if it would result in a walking day, Lionel tried it and showed up with the best of the world when it mattered. He belongs to this small group of „difference makers“. Be aggressive, trust your abilities 🙏🏼
Undisputed greatest triathlete of all time. Frodo. He showed the way and now I only hope everyone else does the same and peak @ 41 years old or perhaps even later.. supercool evolution in endurance racing!
All in!! Lion’s go all in every time they eat! 100% in and walk if you have to but that mind and body will not let you walk this time around!! No Limits! Race Lionel just race
I'll like to say goodluck to lional. For me, I tend to not like talking about my race plan because its internaly in my mind and talking about it makes me nervous so I respect lional for talking about whats in his mind.
Lionel, you should conserve enough energy to run a solid marathon. If you push too hard on the bike, your legs won't be fresh enough for the marathon. By going a few minutes slower on the bike, you can maintain a better run speed and have a much better overall time.
Hey @Talbot, any chance you can include the TRAVEL VLOG… Want to see how you guys travel to and from races… all the cargo, packing, airports etc… would be awesome to see that side of the sport also. I did for some race car drivers and got really good results… this vlog is already a success, just an idea! Keep pushing “PAL” we can’t wait to see L.S have the race of his career…
Push to a group, work with Foley and other power houses to draw in to the race, then marathon conservative untill 26k and push the last 10mile like you stole it!
Lionel Sanders, fierce and keen, Skipped the spotlight, stayed unseen. Why waste words when the race is near? His battle’s fought where stakes are clear. No need for cameras, no press parade- His focus lies in the fight he’s made. For in Kona’s heat, it’s not words that last, But grit and sweat when the die is cast.

Best Kona Series EVER. Do these for every top race that LS, KB, and Gustav compete in
buddy they are athletes not actors for your personal entertainment

I do want him to do that but also dont want him to walk and his confidence moving forward will be questionable 😢

Amen, this has been extremely entertaining and insightful to watch.
the moment when Blu's ad switches to the old and Wurf appears lmao
Those KB plugs 👌🏻😂
Lionel you are an inspiration to all of us. You deserve to be there. Represent Canada well my brother. Win or lose you are making a huge difference in many peoples lives.
Amazing story about Ryf catching Lionel on the swim lol
I love this guy!!

Lionel’s making good money either way those KB ads
Feck whoop, such arbitrary metrics 😂 can get the same using the free garmin app directly from the device recording the data 😂
Go for the agressive plan Lionel!!! IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
These vlogs are so good. You’re creating more hype for Kona than anyone else. Loving it.
The ads were A+
this is my favorite series on youtube. Talbot, you've really taken it up a notch. From the incredible editing to the perfectly timed Norwegian Method ad reads... beautiful.
I wish this series would never end.
KB on the stretcher sends me every time
Exellent work Talbot. All the behind the scene stuff
For us AGs who'll probably never get to see Kona kudos Talbot for showing us around!
Lionel is just a great guy! How can you not like him 👌 all the best for the race. 🍀
He’s an athlete, once that cannon goes he’s in race mode which means all in. This dudes the best and this series has been amazing
Best of luck Lionel. A lot of people rooting for you. An inspirational athlete and human being
Lionel. You HAVE to go all in. You are not getting any younger and these young guys are flying. If you have good legs early in the bike take advantage and take some chances!! Man I'm rooting for you harder then I ever have a person/team in my life . I'm gonna cry if you win!! Let's go, Lionel!! Put it on the line!!
Have the BEST day Lionel!!! We are all rooting so hard for you!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Grip it and rip it. Of course he’s going all in. It’s going to be fun to watch.
Excellent work on all these vids Talbot, not just on Lionel but a great insight into Kona in general
Due to this series I can save my money for going to Kona. This is so good and all in wow! Great piece of work Talbot and the always honest Lionel.
Love the honesty & authenticity of this series 👌 ❤
Really enjoying these LS KONA VLOGS. thanks guys! Good luck in the race. You’re a legend & 1 of the best careers there.
He will know himself on the day . Best of luck Lionel . Luck of the Irish with you ☘️☘️☘️
Remind Lionel that he came 2nd in 2022 & of his wins in 2024 when he talks about getting you tube slots at press conference!!!
hell yeah
The Blu adverts popping up everywhere are comedy gold right now!! Especially since you've made them context sensitive. Don't overdo it though.
Love the series so much and enjoyed following your season the complete year. Thanks for taking us with you. All the best for the race!
Some sombre truth from Lionel there at the end. Hope to see the man on top of the podium tomorrow.
Sky is the limit Lionel. Dream big and go for Gold. Austria ist cheering for you!
Wait 10:49, sorry, why is Ironman not paying people for their labour? Why does Ironman need volunteers?
Ya Ironman always relies heavily on volunteers then charges $500 for an entry
Else they would charge you double.🤣🤣
Great vids this year - I’m loving the series. And those KB ads kill me every time! Good luck Lionel - time to transcend your training!!!
This series is such a treat!!
Great to to see Gustav back…you love to see it
I’m nervous and excited for Lionel! Rooting for the aggressive approach! Whatever the outcome is he will not be happy and that’s what we love about him!
Von Berg - that was Florida. No shot.
Don’t hold back LS. This may be your last big race.
Don’t sleep on T Foley!
Should be a fun race. Love the behind the scenes. Killer videos!
No Limits on race day. Good luck champ we’ll all be pulling for you
Hey this is real cool of you showing all the logistic going behind the scene by the the organization... amazing job
Lionel, thank you and please give your best, we will watching you from SINGAPORE. Greetings
I've really enjoyed this series. Just getting back into triathlon after a hiatus. This is just what I've needed.
Good statement about the press conference. I wish you the best in sports, you will have a great career
Such brutal honesty is a rare thing in pro sport! Lionel deserves a win...and anything can happen out there, so why the F not???💯
Seeing that pier brings back some awesome memories from the late 90’s for this old guy.
Kb Feed is great. Love seeing them and Pat
Good Luck Lionel, just go out there and race your race and hope you have a great day out there. You have made this sport so enjoyable and interesting, more than any other triathlete for years. Its been a privilege for us all to watch you train and race all these years! Thank you for all of it and im sure it's fair I say We All Wish You Luck in Kicking Today's @$$ !! 😀 Good Luck!
I would just like to see Lionel compete with the top guys for him to win would be a stretch but hoping he's in the mix at least
My triathlon coach always said race the race in front of you. Catch the person in front of you, and then try catch the next person. Eventually you finish in the best spot you can. Good luck.
The whole series is Brilliant! I love the infomercials haha....did you get a pro voice actor for that?😂 it's perfect mix of beautiful shots and stories, bts mood.....really really good
Ready for race day. This series is great. The athletes are great. Gonna live and die with every awesome performance and tragic blowup.
Well...we all know by now. Not doubt about he is a hard working athlete and all my admiration and respect. But ironman ( Kona ) takes all what you worked for and more.
Going to miss these vids, so entertaining.
Let’s GO 🎉 - rooting for you big time
wishing a good race, as good as this vlog is !!!!
Love this series, love the content. Smash it Lionel
Get some sleep Brugh. I’m all in for ya! Check into your own hurt locker and stay there. Enjoy the struggle and pain. You’re a hero

Great job volunteers!!!
All the best Sanders. Have a great day out there.
All the very best! Leave it all in the course!
Let's go Lionel!!! All in baby
Its time to bring the World Championship back to Canada!!! Let's go Lionel!!!!
All in!! Lion’s go all in every time they eat! 100% in and walk if you have to but that mind and body will not let you walk this time around!! No Limits! Race Lionel just race
All the posing on that Pro Presser
If there was a 40 meter draft rule, the day would shake out differently
Had a cigarette in the penalty tent 😂
Best of luck Lionel !
Best of luck Lionel, you deserved it
I can't wait🎉❤🎉❤ you are the best Lionel..
I think all the other pros should have been asking how much of a gap do we need to Lionel after the swim. This guy is coming for ya boyz! Beast mode!!
I'll like to say goodluck to lional. For me, I tend to not like talking about my race plan because its internaly in my mind and talking about it makes me nervous so I respect lional for talking about whats in his mind.
Go Lionel . swim your best ! bike strong ! run hard ! And just Let’s just see 😊
made me laught with that kb commercial, wasnt expecting it 😂
Just let gratitude guide you ❤
Brother it’s not a RUclips slot, 2nd in 2022, several wins in 2024, and your influence in the sport. Have confidence LS, lock in, time to go all out
Lets go Lionel!
Go for it champ 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Go All In!
Thanks for the tour 👏
Hard work is done race the race and enjoy it!
Lionel, you should conserve enough energy to run a solid marathon.

Never knew who that dude was outside of Bert, thanks for including the press conference intro.
Yeah, Lionel!!! GO ALL IN..
..on that last 10k. 😉 #pacethyself
@5:09 haha omg the wonderfully brilliant norwegian again 😂
Going all in: if that means racing your best race, then absolutely. If it means ignoring thresholds and hoping for the best, hell no.
@talbot Surely the next episode has to have The Norwegian method clip include Blu projectile vomiting. 😂
The KB Ad is such a high level😂
The second KB ad really caught me off guard hard 😂😂😂
What he said in the end about he don't deserve to be there,is a legend talk 🔥🙏
Hey @Talbot, any chance you can include the TRAVEL VLOG… Want to see how you guys travel to and from races… all the cargo, packing, airports etc… would be awesome to see that side of the sport also.

Can we delay the race a week to get more videos? Highlight of my day for the past few weeks. Thanks Talbot and Lionel.
I live in a swing state and I'm really getting sick of all the Norwegian Method ads on TV and phone calls. Can't wait until this is all over.
All in! Got to risk it for the biscuit!
I’m going to miss these Vlogs but Talbot needs rest I’m sure
Push to a group, work with Foley and other power houses to draw in to the race, then marathon conservative untill 26k and push the last 10mile like you stole it!
Top 10 let’s go
Gotta be top 5 on a good day, he's class
Lionel Sanders, fierce and keen,
Skipped the spotlight, stayed unseen.
Why waste words when the race is near?
His battle’s fought where stakes are clear.
No need for cameras, no press parade-
His focus lies in the fight he’s made.
For in Kona’s heat, it’s not words that last,
But grit and sweat when the die is cast.
