This is not specific to Lionel : Communicating with professional triathletes is like herding cats. You get radio silence for months then boom, "can we test next week ?" I don't see this with the cycling teams. I don't see this with AG athletes that probably come from the corporate world. But pro triathletes.....it's crazy. I suspect it's in large part that the manage everything themselves, from email, to sponsors to trying to train 30h per week. And it's the training they truly enjoy and the email is a chore. Example, there are 2 sponsors that contacted me about testing their products which IMO had a high probability of gains, never mind sponsorship....radio silence.....again not specific to Lionel.
My experience with professional athletes across multiple sports is that it is like herding cats, they like get someone to start doing something for them and that part of their brain disintegrates.
