If you look at my back and fourth with FtStri he's just trying to drag down Lionel's accomplishments and say he's ducked people and not chosen to go to "prestigious" races. There is no way of knowing whether or not Lionel has chosen to duck people and second guessing his decisions based on the blow ups we've seen when we know what the goal is: Get to Kona. I've been racing Tri for 5 years and following it for 4 and I don't know how Frankfort is meant to be prestigious at all. If it is, great I guess. But it doesn't carry mythology for me considering I'm a "new" fan of triathlon and that the races for me that hold any mythology are Kona and Roth to some extent.
Frankfurt is a huge race in Europe and has been for a long time. It is the European IM Championship and not scheduled for right after Kona like AZ or FL, for example. It isn't a big deal that you didn't know of its status but I'd advise against railing against being corrected on this. It just isn't a great look.
I agree that there are some people who are just jealous and are now stuck in the "Lionel sucks" category. I see no problem with him choosing Copenhagen over Frankfurt. He needed the KQ. I personally get frustrated with the chopping and changing and thus likely never approaching his potential.
Never heard of Frankfort triathlon until your post
But I am a newbie
Only been racing triathlons for 38 years
Sorry mate, I can’t help you there. I can help you with the city though. It is Frankfurt, not “Frankfort”
Ah ok thank you for clearing that up
FrankfUrt triathlon
Of course Everyone’s heard of that race.
