  • I've been in touch with ‪@Lionel.Sanders‬ ever since he took my Mt. Lemmon KOM and did a No Kid Hungry push on his channel, which is a good way to make sure I'm not mad about losing a KOM. Finally had a chance to get to know him in person. Incredible athlete (obviously), but also a very thoughtful, overall good dude. I'm sure you'l enjoy the video and I hope to do another one with him someday on my turf! Thanks ‪@TalbotCoxMedia‬ for the great filming and edit!

    "This is Ari Klau. He went to University of Virginia and was a D1 track and cross country athlete for 5 years. He is a new pro in triathlon, and has just moved out here for the second time in a year from a training group in New Hampshire. He has a pretty nice RUclips channel that chronicles his development as a pro triathlete."

    I have bounced between triathlon and cycling for around 13 years and what I have always found interesting is the different culture/personality of the sports. Cycling has a slight negative slant to it...i.e. "I am not feeling good today...I have not been riding much lately" Sometimes its excuses, but its also the deceptive element of tactics that also leaves room to do black ops training so you can come out and romp on people. Triathlon is more individual, but has a different positive energy, you celebrate your competitor improvements, especially if they are slower than you. Selectively share training tips with them. You celebrate and encourage even when you get bested by people on race day, but do so with gritted teeth thinking about what you are going to do in the coming months to make sure they never best you again. Its really cool to see you hanging with Lionel. Great content and collaboration.

    Phil you asked for tips on your running form. Right off the bat I see it would be better for you to stay tall like a tree(actively pull your head upwards),keep your hips underneath you driving them forward, finally lean or fall into it while implementing those last 2 cues.

    That gait when you tapped out of the jog, oh so familiar! I knows it well.
    If you want to feel an intriguingly different 'have to stop' moment in your legs, give a beep test a crack sometime. 😉
    The swim is easy once one has some shoulders conditioning for 30-60min of flailing. Once you're pulling yourself along at enough pace so the glutes rise to the surface it's all just a calm exhaling rhythm thing, not unlike jogging, and in that the face down with side breathing becomes second nature. ...should you want to at some point.

    Phil you could absolutely be a swimmer with some practice! You've got a swimmers frame and you've got the basics down, just need to fine tune and learn proper breathing technique. Don't be fooled by how tiring it felt, that's normal in the beginning - it takes time but once you get swim fit and dial in the technique you'll find an easy long swim feels as effortless as an easy ride! Would be epic to see you do a Tri one day. Great video!

    Phil, As an over-the-hill, back-of-the-pack, age-group triathlete, I am seriously impressed! While riding a road bike, you were able to keep up with Lionel Sanders on a triathlon bike. Without any serious run training, you were able to run a mile in 6:06. Your dog-paddle swim looked unimpressive, but it still was about as fast as many age-groupers. You definitely have the engine to be a pro triathlete.
