Here’s a little throwback to Oceanside 2015. The one and only time I got to go toe-to-toe with @janfrodeno
No one has inspired me more or pushed me more to become a better athlete than him.
Jan, I hear you’re looking for a challenge. I’m willing to pay for your flight, hotel, rental car and meals if you come race me at Ironman Coeur D’Alene. I know the start list is already out but something tells me they’ll allow a late entry from the

This isn’t calling Frodo out. This is begging for an ass whooping.

That's generous of Mr sanders but pretty sure Jan is used to an appearance fee minimum and high end travel and accommodation

Does Jan still have to validate for kona?

No

Lionel could 'downgrade' and offer the package to Patrick Lange.

Lange the most uninteresting guy in ironman. No thanks.

Nice marketing move by sanders. At least he’s trying something.

Yeah it’s this. If LS really wanted this, he wouldn’t have waited until this close to the race for the “invitation”

It’s in response to a post Frodeno posted on Instagram asking for suggestions for a new sporting challenge.

Lange is the new Crowie. Just quietly trying to win this one major hot race on the run without much of a hype around him.

The crowd loves some hero, but Lange is a 2x World Champion (back to back, even harder), like his style or not, that deserves major respect (not saying you disrespected him at all with your comment).

Lange is a better champion than many other winners at kona. He’s just a boring dude.

I’ve always said the same about Crowie as well. He is one of the greatest in our sport, but his interviews horribly and is a boring human.

Athletes are entertainers.

We watch sports to see them do amazing things. We want to hear their thoughts before and after games.

We pay to watch sports. Its why The stars earn so much. Because we pay to be entertained.

Therefore mind and others expectations are to be entertained and find the sports stars interesting.

Not boring or never talk.

You would be lucky to find more than 10 interviews with Lange on the internet and tipping none are exciting.

YouTube him. Probably will have under a few thousand views. Boring not rude.

People pay to watch Feddera and he is like an accountant in white shorts.

Frodo is no more Mr Personality than Lange, just Lange doesn't engage as well, Frodo is well spoken and polished.

Frodo interviews great and his show on Instagram is great.

Frodo has 472k Instagram followers
Lange has 222k Instagram followers
Ironcowboy has 238k Insta followers

Its sad When a guy who does the sport but never won even his age group has more followers than a duel world champion.

Yep but you could hardly say Frodo is Mr Personality. As I mentioned he is polished and talks well, just like Federer, but hardly exciting or dramatic like Sanders
