1. I am a Lionel fanboy. That's not to say that I don't acknowledge his reptitive mistakes, it's just saying that I follow all his posts, videos, races, etc., and he is my overwhelming favorite to win.
2. I actually thought that he might never get back to this point again.
3. The path he took to win Oceanside 2024 is amazing, more so mentally and emotionally than physically.
4. I wonder if he was about at this point physically last year around the time of Superleague, and then the bike wreck + illness + reinventing everything just torpedoed the season.
5. Looking forward to what's to come for him!!!
Lionel hit the race on the head today like he has so many times before. This time Jan , blummenfelt and gustav didnāt race .
Peopleās memories are short just 2 years ago he was 2 nd in Utah IM worlds behind the greatest āone year in triathlete performance of all timeā blummenfelt .
He seemed to be more willing to suffer early in the year than later ?
Or is it trainers smarter in the winter on quality Vs too much volume and fatigue built in the hot months and being over fatigued and mentally turned off?
His 2022 was great 2023 was ok good start to 2024.
Technique will always last longer then energy production. Improve biomechanics, improve performance.
