I've had a front row seat to the Lionel Run Show on many occasions. That wasn't the first time he's blown past me late in a race. Check out his 70.3 run record:
Muskoka 70.3 - 1:10:58 (not a fast course)
Texas 70.3 - 1:12:09 (after flat tires took him out of contention)
St. George 70.3 - 1:12:18
Raleigh 70.3 - 1:09:56
Syracuse 70.3 - 1:09:54
+ countless local short course results
Even so, his run at Syracuse 70.3 was unreal. Two huge climbs, grass, gravel, 3 turnarounds... all the makings of a very slow course. Scary to think what that translates to on a flat course... He has got to be the most consistent, if not the most dominant, runner in 70.3 right now.
