Wait, are you seriously saying Javier, Ali and Frodo wasted all these years winning Olympic medals and other honours at ITU instead of coming earlier to the real serious leagues (IronMan)? Or maybe (I hope) I'm misunderstanding you?

I agree he had great self reflection. I enjoyed his attitude and perspective.
BUT, there always is a but, figuring out he was overworked and must swim faster is far from genius. He is a great athlete, but doubt he can win it all. As always, it depends who shows up on race day.

Team Zoot So Cal

you are. I am saying they used it wisely to be the greatest of short course but used up the peak juice before attempting long course.

Now young guys are using their peak years for long course, basically what would happen if peak Ali, Jan, and Gomez never did short course during their peak but right to long course.

after even Olympic year Ironman times speed up.

why some guys move over yes, but more so the young talent that got cut one year before moved over since 2012.

Technique will always last longer then energy production. Improve biomechanics, improve performance.

I was impressed with the 2nd half of this video in particular. He showed his strength of character and how he thinks about his life.

There first half was more of the “this didn’t work…I am definitely this other type of athlete so I need to change everything drastically based on this race” rerun.

Again though, I expected him to be bitter and he was really mature and insightful in the macro.

Not sure about Lionel but every other pro's bike that i saw posted in videos/pictures seemed to go for the less durable and faster TT versions of their tires.

senor talbot: how about update from collin, who finished near sanders. he did not have heat problems from dallas, so what gives?

I cant speak for Collin haha. Maybe message him on Instagram and ask.. :) I cant even speak for lionel I just press the red button on my camera and he talks haha.
