70.3 ST. GEORGE - Final Workouts and Race Prep

[@scarroll1555]

Good luck in STG. Paula being sponsored by maple syrup is quite possibly the most canadian thing ever!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Big thanks to Endurance Tap for sponsoring Paula and getting behind what we’re doing! They’re an awesome, ethically run company, check them out here and show them some love if you’re in the market for gels: endurancetap.com/ use code PAULA20 for 20% off 🍁

[@erab6539]

Just bought some to try! GU upsets my stomach sometimes 🧐

[@angelaviehland2705]

Ive been using #endurancetap for a several weeks and really like the flavor and the flask option.

[@bumblebeejewelry]

love endurance tap!

[@skshain]

just ordered some of these for the first time. normally hate gels!

[@louisewells6567]

Been using them for a couple of years now, hands down the best gels I’ve ever used, just as delicious at the end of an IM as they are at the start!!

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

I love all the videos every week. But today was exceptional. Bike coverage, and music, run coverage, and music. A fab video today. Paula you and me! Is it me, or is everyone in carbon blade shoes these days? At my old age, I am a convert as they even help an old fart like me seemingly run faster and post PBs! And a new endless pool to boot! Fab, as a swimming teacher and coach my dream, is to own one myself. Great week on TTL. See you both next week, stay safe, much love from a very sunny, and rarely today a very warm UK. As for Paula's off day. My 10-mile run session this morning absolutely sucked! Even us not-so-great age groupers have those we simply have no zip in the legs days!

[@suzanneh1605]

for my second dose came home and biked 2 hours, then got up the next morning and thought I'd been hit by a bus- a good day of feeling tired and like I was in a gravity chamber. Can't say enough about the joy it is to watch the wonderful, hilarious, ordinary and extraordinary human adventure that Eric is capturing about what you live. Y'all bring together the great things to love- adventure sports, friendship, beautiful landscapes, Flynn, and coffee- come on! Tear it up at St George!

[@98GuitarTECH]

Been petty isolated since I moved to a new country in lockdown a few weeks ago. I’m a long time viewer but now more than ever your videos have been encouraging me to explore and appreciate the beautiful place I’ve found myself in. Keep going hard, good luck with the upcoming races, keep crushing it

[@DanielaAngulo]

Where did you move to, mate?

[@PaulWalker-uv2iq]

Great video. Good luck both of you in st. George. And WTF was that on the crane!!!! Can’t wait for that to be continued

[@MarceloG..]

Very cool video, a bit of everything and thanks for sharing the workouts. Hopefully I will see you in St George! Best of lucks there!!!

[@egeassos4755]

Race prep videos are always the best !!

[@christopherkelly8031]

The great thing about Zwift is riding with the Pros. Seeing Eric and Paula pass me on a training ride. Your not alone out there.

[@veronicaprochazka1110]

No apology needed for the long vlog. I love ‘em!

[@laurabartha606]

don"t be sorry for the long talking vlog it was good to see Paula smiling and talking actually :D Eric's editing and music choice is top-notch as always!

[@rebeccawhite7540]

Came here to say this about Paula, too! Loved seeing and hearing more of Paula in this one. You looked so happy in this one, Paula. Congrats on your 4th place finish in St George. Cheers!

[@MrMoneyMonda]

Great work Eric and Paula!!! Safe travels...I’ll see you down there!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

sick!

[@dhgraham69]

Continue to love the Sunday vids. Good luck this wknd to you both.

[@deannkrill9622]

I will be there in St. George cheering my daughter and her friends and both of you two speed demons!! I hope your race goes fabulous and you are met with success ❤️💪🏻

[@evelyneouellet1631]

Hi guys! Dual citizen here 🇨🇦🇺🇸 I really like when you share training tips, challenges and ideas with us. Loving TTL!

[@clareblain8503]

Sorry to hear you had a rough race day Eric. I've started watching TTL relatively recently, over the last month or so and I love the content your putting out there and the values in your messaging so much. It's brought back into perspective again for me the many many ways you can do life, and to try different things, break from expectation, and to seek what's going to make you happy. Thanks so much guys X

[@triathletesofutah5777]

Hope to see you both in St George! Its going to be an awesome day and killer pro field.

[@DMKARK]

I enjoy every week but this video was definitely a standout. Great job putting the time in on this one! I'm training for a 70.3 in July and watching you two train helps keep me focused and helps me improve my habits.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

awesome! Stoked to hear that!

[@mikecrowley7963]

One of my favorite recent videos! Good luck in St George!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ejquezad]

Dang! That endless pool looks huge!!

[@hansiedekock2115]

Have a really good feeling re Paula in STG. "Made for her" course. Great video

[@vancejohnson6661]

This is one of my favorite videos you guys have ever done! Good luck in STG!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks man! Stoked to hear that!

[@BenjaminBriu]

Wow!! The vid quality and editing is freaking awesome!!! Can’t wait for the next!! Good luck in the race!!

[@EisKonfekt1]

Enoyed this video a lot. A bit of inside into your training prior to a big race and a lot of training footage! Love it!

[@Sanko1960]

Have a good final week before St. George and a good event. Thanks for sharing your experiences, which motivate and inspire me to keep at it with a smile.

[@vanessaalbornoz9793]

Loved this (and every) video... My husband and I can’t wait to get home from training every Sunday morning to catch up on TTL! Good luck this weekend!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

That's awesome, we love hearing that :)

[@ChadPenoyer]

Another great video, love the MTN/ Cycle portions in the beginning. Have a great race!

[@fanniehansen8582]

Great Vlog! So excited to hear more about your new swimspa and woodway TM! See you in SG and good luck to you both!!

[@craiggardiner4047]

Love this kinda vlog! Thank you and GOOD LUCK

[@Miss33S]

[@marceloa.digrigoli2780]

Great one... Loaded with Paula´s smiles!

[@Paul-M21]

Another great video! Good luck to you both at St George 💪🏼

[@oliverp8006]

The mood and energy is much better than around the Challenge Miami, nice to see 🙏👍

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

helps to feel prepared 👌

[@pabloelias1196]

you guys need to upload videos more often, they are amazing!!! Btw good luck in STG!! keep up the good work

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

haha it's about all I can do to get one up every weekend!

[@itsmathcart]

Loving these longer videos and applying Paula's tip about days off between swims from now on lol

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

#protip 😂

[@korywalsh]

Great vid this week. Love seeing you guys in beast mode. I was lucky with first shot. Sore shoulder, two hour bike same afternoon, long run day after. No issues. Just different for different people. Kick some ass in stg

[@shelleysimpson3154]

Good luck guys!!!!

[@simonbyrne2150]

Always enjoy your Vlogs but today’s was on point 👌🏻 really enjoyed it! Have a good week training and all the for the upcoming races 🏁🏆🍀

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thank you! You too!

[@TheFitDragon]

Yo hope u guys take recovery super serious. A hammock you can hang out the lower back is a super great tool. All the years of endurance training at high intensity really will add up. Best wishes!

[@topogelido]

Paula running form is amazing

[@endurancetap3396]

"Both... both is good" - well said Eric!

[@marie-lucefortier3045]

Loved it guys!! Best of luck in St-George!!🏃‍♀️

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks!

[@matthewduncan892]

Incredible video this week. So much fun!

[@kurtjacobs8208]

Amazing views, perfectly captured on cam. With all that smoke I was just thinking 'damn are those forests there really burning AGAIN?' when you focused on the sign :-) Good luck next week!

[@damu6678]

Loving the 4k+ video quality!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Stoked to hear it! It's been a long time coming

[@migrosch]

Thanks for taking us along on your journey. I always look forward to your weekly video. Is that a wildfire at 11:42? Looks pretty scary. ... a few seconds later I noticed the explanation "control burn" ;-) Cheers from Germany.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

haha yeah I made sure to get that sign in there. That was our exact experience, we were freaking out a bit

[@marie-joseecossette3984]

Damn that was entertaining! Well the f##k done amigo. Keep em coming. And loving the 5 bonus mins.

[@susanwiggins6309]

Great video as always! Good luck to you both in St. George.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thank you!

[@canada1144]

amazing video

[@Ghostina1]

That video! OMG .... great editing!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks!

[@Ghostina1]

@@ThatTriathlonLife your Welcome. Since you get you both said that you are addicted to "bubble water" ... I can recommend you beside the Soda maker (sodascream) the "Grohe Blue" Tap integrated bubble water maker. We have this in our new house since three years. It is awesome and even more cost effective and environmental friendly. *I don't work for GROHE ... just an advice.

[@scheherazadehaque]

Leaving us hanging with the master-spa! That crane was cool.

[@erab6539]

Glad you’re feeling better! 💯 Flynn is so cute, especially playing with his toy

[@dejanpopovic6542]

That's Triathlon Life! Amazing

[@paytonfoster]

Great video. Enjoyed the content a lot

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@annemariemacdonald4372]

Great video. Really loved all the training footage and workout detail/explanations. Best of luck to you both at St. George!

[@matyasdoubek3616]

this video was the best in a long time :D, i love how you gave us all the thoughts on everything (even the day not going well, i fell like everyone has got loads of them, but you are never allowed talk about it :D). I enjoy that you give us the training data! thanks for everything! keep it up please

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

honestly the hardest part (for us) about capturing those hard times is that the last thing you want to do when you're tired and grumpy is get out the camera and talk about it. It's a risky relationship move 😂

[@greatscott7156]

Some of your best work right here Eric; I can feel the groove.

[@johnhunt3076]

Paula, Your sensations are not abnormal for 2nd shot. For me, my symptoms started about 3 days post shot #2- lasted until 13 days post shot.

[@spencerallen9661]

Great vlog and best of luck in St George!!! 👊

[@runbikerun8189]

I recently very similar feelings of fatigue and lethargy...I run 80-100 miles a week as a competitive masters runner. Had the vaccination shot (the second shot) and suddenly about a week later I began a run and felt like I had never run before in my life. The next 2 days I was just dragging myself around and did not run at all but sleeping like 12 hours a day. Now I seem to be fine. My training block is now screwed up though. Anyway, don't push it. Your body will tell you when it's good to go.

[@aburgess7139]

Amazing episode as always Eric!! So excited to watch you guys crush it!!!

[@ckokomo808]

The cut with Paula talking about her new sponsor and then you two hitting it hard was SICK! Great footage, great workout, great music...quality stuff as always. Do work at StG!

[@bonn1771]

can not wait to see your new toy and good luck at St. G!

[@donnacunnin2018]

Got get it you guys..Loved the slow burn, made me smile:) Cheering ya on. Will check out Endurance Tap...sounds yummy.

[@robpotter7689]

Great to hear you plan to do an Xterra

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Can't wait

[@diogopiresgoncalves]

Eric, filmmaking keeps getting better man. Congrats!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

thank you sir 🤙

[@KwadSkwad]

The run edit at 11 minutes was sick!

[@gracecassady4702]

Great vid this week guys & good luck for StG! Looking forward to seeing how the masters spa set up goes too in the future. Serious equipment level up!

[@benoitchevalier2681]

really cool :) Eric , you look so easy on MTB and Paula what a great tempo run congrats and all the best for st Georges from Belgium

[@Jvds9]

I love the longer vlogs! good luck in St George!

love your videos - not only for the conten but also for the music!

More of those long vlogs please!!

will try 🥵

[@ENJOY_THE_JOURNEY]

Great vibe on this vlog. Excited to follow you guys in next weeks race. Go crush!! 🤙🏽

[@ryandetails9598]

looking strong! footage was amazing. race race

[@wojciechmiszczuk5108]

Nice soundtrack! and Paula's comments were great 😁

[@cphilipbrown]

Great video again. Really relatable, I guessing it's because you both are becoming more comfortable with the camera. Good luck in St. George

[@barryfield9300]

That thing that was "air lifted" into your backyard better be an endless pool and not a hot tub. Enjoyed Paula's tempo run, the footage & music were right on. Eric, great off road footage & best of luck at xterra, it will definitely take you out of your comfort zone. Also the very best to both of you @ St. George, I would assume both male and female fields are stacked.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks Barry :) Yep, both fields are very strong, but I think the women's is actually stronger this time around. It should be awesome to watch

[@stewartnewberry4419]

enjoyed this episode, nice to see a training block featured.

[@maikis1991]

I felt the same way 10 days after my J&J shot. Was NAILING workouts and fell flat on my face in a 2hr sweet spot bike followed by a 1hr run. Cut both short and spiraled out of control mentally for a week.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

yeah that sounds very familiar

[@mattmcgrath9061]

great video

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks!

[@shannonday2734]

Did you guys get a pool???? Amazing! 😊 Good luck to both of you at St George, your gonna kill it! 😁 I'll be watching and cheering you on.

[@trbeyond]

Another awesome video. Would love to know what your week pre race looks like with travel and training! Maybe we will get that in next week’s vlog?!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

yep! We're going to do a live post race chat video this Sunday, then we'll put out a race week video the next weekend

[@alessandrobasilico5847]

Gorgeous! And Eric...you have a onewheel! Great!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

haha I've had one for quite a while now ;)

[@rbcism]

Best of luck in St George, I’m positive ur going to crush it!

[@SuperKat1029]

I’m REALLY interested in the XTerra racing, last I spoke to TriBike Transport they were going to expand for that which will be helpful. And I was bad after my first shot, I’m scared for the second. 😖😺🤙🏽

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I'm sure it'll be fine :) maybe just don't get it right before a race. Yeah packing the mountain bike into a bag... not sure how I feel about this haha

[@dataseeker7460]

I had a friend who had severe side effects from the vaccine, diarrhea and vomiting and loss of weight. I'm glad Paula didn't experience anything so severe. That would have set her back quite a while. I hope the St. George course fits you both well. Good luck Paula and Eric!

[@jameschu2353]

Had lingering issues after second shot that lasted 3 weeks, tapering off towards the end... inability to sustain upper end power and lengthened recovery time between intervals. Definitely pay attention to what your body is telling you.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

it's hard because it aligned with our peak training weeks, so we're normally tired and grumpy anyway.. But the random "I can't even fathom getting off the couch" days, that's not normal

[@jameschu2353]

@@ThatTriathlonLife yep. Entirely not normal. Hope it wears off by this weekend!
