I read it and was curious about the tv coverage info. Said it was live for all of SA to watch. That's impressive.

I wonder about that tire explosion. I still believe the open tubular design with cotton based clinchers can easily slip off the bead of rims, especially in hot humid conditions.

I did not hear any of this here in Brazil, just knew about the race because I follow Lionel and received an email of a sports travel agency back in 2016.

I believe that he has switched to the 4000s 2 even though he was on the Corsas - could be wrong though... Edit to ad: 4000s are not open tubular design - are they? clincher v open tubular differences are not my forte

That said, I'm going to go look at pictures after I send this :) Edit to ad: they were 4000s on the IG pic.

Looks like he is making some dents on his swim performance.

When I saw it was a 28:10 I thought "Same old LS. Announces things have clicked but then goes back to his same old performance times".

But that was before knowing that the swim had a lap transition of about 100m running.

Great for him to be able to bridge up to a group and great that he feels comfortable in that group. Swimming 15th in division compared with 20th, 25th or last when the difference is swimming with the 2nd group vs being a straggler is a big move forward.

Seems a big block for him has been the concept of taking 'any advice at all' so great he is swimming with a club on top of working with Tilbury Davis and others.

I will have to read the stuff about muscle recruitment and bike position again. Seems like there is a fair difference in setup this year to last year.

I couldn't tell from the picture. Looked like maybe he was on a Turbo cotton on the back. Contis are blown rubber and the rubber is stickier and I believe it helps creates a tighter seal with the hook.

Over the years I've had a number of tires delaminate. Most were on the trainer but at least couple on the road. If not caught soon enough they went from lumpity bumpity to boom. That sure sounds like what happened to Lionel.

Genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.

Looks like he may have switched to a Cobb saddle.

His instagram picture shows the ISM road he's been riding, but the twitter pic from that chilean pro of t2 looks like it's got a green Cobb saddle.

I'd be interested to hear why he changed

Does he know how to count? In N.A - NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB. He could argue that NHL should be exempt from the list, but as a Canadian, I doubt he would make that argument - and it would be wrong, anyway. The other three are non-negotiable. And if you wanted to identify the next most popular sport (or the most popular sport, depending on your metric), then it would be NASCAR, not UFC.

Anyway, people will say I'm unnecessarily giving him shit. But it's the same lack of attention to detail that I think hurts him on more important things - like "oh, hey, my PM calibration is completely different than any other number I've seen - must be NBD!", or "this camelback probably doesn't cost too many watts, right?".

i will say i am happy he has gotten a coach/"advisor", because, i do actually want to see him succeed. it is just frustrating how headstrong he has been about everything.

@adamwfurlong

I think he was saying UFC *or* the big 4 (NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL).

Actually, I think your attention to detail is in question here, haha. I admire your dedication to find things to complain about with him, though.

Yes, trying super hard to find something to ride him about I think.

Yes, I 100% meant UFC AND the big 4. This type of comment is precisely why I do not come on Slowtwitch anymore. How's that for detail?

Ironically, your type of witty rejoinder is precisely why so many of us keep coming back to Slowtwitch.

And this type of comment is precisely why you are the favorite triathlete of Slowtwitch. You don't take crap and you put in hard work.

Hah. Are you serious? Wow. This is a stretch even for ST.

congratulations! i was there cheering and you ran like a freak. 1:16 on that course is unbelievable (i think only colucci had done that before)

wouldn't it be nice to see it become a 70.3 worlds?

hope to see you again down here!

Bit of a douche comment. Learn to read, buddy.

Beautiful place, awesome spectators, great volunteers and a nice course. Really fantastic on those dimensions

However, logistics leave much to improve and the drafting was the worst I have ever seen. Probably mix of too few motos/officials and participants' deliberately drafting in big packs.

What a stupid thing to get riled up on. Jesus Christ, guys.

Agreed. Lionel is willing to come to ST to discuss things even after taking a ton of shit. Cut the guy some slack as it is making himself available to us.

As I think is clear from all the responses in this thread, that dude is a douche. You're probably the most beloved triathlete on Slowtwitch, which is why people want to see you do so well. Keep it up...you're still a young man in this endurance game.

Awesome race and RR - big fan

"if you chose it, it's not really pain"

fair enough. i apologize for my earlier remarks regarding the typo, as i'm clearly the idiot here who can't read.

@adamwfurlong

If it weren't for you coming on Slowtwitch, your fan base, your marketability, your public persona -- and by extension a chunk of your income -- would shrink materially, especially given that you do not perform all that well in the few races the non-Slowtwitch masses actual watch (70.3 World's, Kona). So there's nothing charitable about your involvement here; it's in your self interest to participate whether you realize it or not.

Butt hurt about a condescending remark on an internet forum? Boo hoo. Welcome to the internet.
