70.3 ST. GEORGE - That Triathlon Life

[@MarceloG..]

Hi Eric and Paula, I stopped at the van to say hi, and you guys were great and friendly even though you were in business mode. It was a real pleasure meeting you. I wish you all the best!!!

[@KlemenSuligojTri]

Keep your heads up, Paula and Eric! You're awesome and an amazing inspiration to many of us "ordinary" triathletes. Much love and all the best, stay awesome 😄💪

[@kylegalloway9824]

That's the beauty of triathlon, it's always a struggle and making it through the struggle is what brings you joy! Keep your heads up!

[@onepunchbud1472]

So true! For me, the races i was the most proud of was when all went wrong and i somehow did it. Like my first long distance race where i had terrible stomach issues on the bike (probably caused by heat and non optimal neutrition) and could not eat stuff anymore after km 90. I somehow finished the bike and then the marathon with some Coke (no idea how i managed it) and was super sad about my time and how brutal that race felt. After a few days i was more proud than with my agegroup wins over shorter distance.

[@FitnessBanjo]

Hi Eric and Paula! I just found your KZbin channel and you guys have no idea what a blessing it’s been to have found you guys and watching this vlog. I’m a very amateur triathlete who is doing their 1st 70.3 at Steelhead in just about 6 weeks. I’m mediocre in all 3 sports and looking to complete without receiving a DNF. Thanks so much for sharing your TRI life.

[@carlmiddleton9262]

The fact that you guys still managed this vlog during a stressful and hectic week is amazing! You guys are awesome at what you do regardless of how the day panned out!

[@markthompson4338]

I raced St. George a few years ago and found the scenery beautiful. My family and I are Native American and often got the "cold shoulder" while in town. We decided not to go back and that is unfortunate because the race course is wonderful.

[@fasterthanyou7605]

I have adopted family and my best friend is native. We love St george. Please go back. If you ever get or think you are getting treated differently kill them with enthusiasm and kindness. It truly is the only superpower against prejudice. Avoidance, anger, marches, etc do nothing. Smile love those around you, treat everyone with joy and happiness it will conquest the world. And that isn’t a bubble answer it’s the truth. I’ve done it myself

[@markthompson4338]

@@fasterthanyou7605 thank you and I agree.

[@agnes4584]

Congrats Paula! Great result 👍

[@ckokomo808]

Hey! Just wanted to say beautiful video. Thank you both for being an inspiration for me and my fiancé. I’m an aspiring professional ultrarunner in the infancy of my journey. You inspire to continue to show up and do my best no matter what is happening. My fiancé and I also bought a bus that one day we’ll convert to our home- inspired by you both traveling in your van! We’re hoping to travel and find community around the US. Thanks for everything you are doing. Peace. Chris

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

So missed you guys last week, but racing takes center stage, especially if it is how you earn your hard wages. Great video as always. Racing is always hard, no matter whether your a pro near the front and the prize money or you're the average age-grouper making up the numbers. Great effort. As age groupers always have to say onwards to the next race. Some days it's your days, others days are not!. Just keep working, and all will come around again. Stay safe, see you next week, much love from the UK.

[@ivanorozcolucena369]

No matter how you two guys are feeling right now, for me you still being the best couple @ Tri... missed U last week cause'I can wait to see every chapter and go watching over and over again.. You keep me going...Greetings from Colombia...

[@MR-wh5wp]

4th is AMAZING!! 👏

[@B1gC4st]

Paula, quit being down on yourself, you had a great race in a great field! Also, this is probably one of your best vlogs.

[@suzannepeasley]

Thanks for sharing your journey! Really enjoy following along.

[@droneviking]

Had a lot of fun watching this, thanks! Great insights and pre-race vibes. BTW: what a great rendition of the good old Colin Hay song by your friend Nick …!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Glad you enjoyed it! Nick + guitar can sooth any pre-race nerves 👍

[@NavigationTraining]

Great work ya'll! Thanks for the great video

[@johnschott4055]

Great Job! Some times things don't go as we plan, but those who overcome and adapt will become stronger!! I am glad that you posted this video Proves that you are Human!!!

[@michaelmontalvo5757]

"That's how we roll." I like how the two of you roll! Always inspired by your vlogs. The content is fantastic. Drone shots. So very cool. But what really gets me is the authenticity of your lives. That's where you two truly shine.

[@berilpolat971]

The acoustic music in this video is THE BEST! 🤗 His voice is so good! Can we find these songs somewhere?

[@Jeroens1313]

Yes please

[@angelaviehland2705]

Thanks for sharing your race recap. I can only imagine what its like as Pro to have your race not go as planned. St.George was definitely a magical place that challenges you at all levels. I left knowing my future finish there is possible and I’ll be back to met that challenge! I hope it provided you with motivation for your upcoming XTerra race.

[@montanagreider6057]

Thank you for this video, and nice job out there! Beautiful shots, was in St. George back in Oct and I'm missing the red rocks all over again!

[@kennethwhitehair7903]

I love how your real and genuine emotions and personalities come through in every video! Keep your chins up and please keep the content coming to inspire the rest of us! Eric good luck at Xterra and Paula keep cranking!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks :) really glad you’re liking what we’re doing 🙏

[@craiggardiner4047]

Stunning video and you guys are so positive for the sport. Love it. Thank you

[@chipg6446]

I love how you not only give great content about both of you as Triathletes but also bring attention tonight other stuff like the small coffee roasters. Letting a friend perform a song or using music from a different group here or there. You are both kind of the good social conscience of triathlon. 100% good positive energy from you. 👍👍👍

[@Tilexox]

Losing a battle doesn’t mean losing the war. Thank you for being so authentic and showing us your vulnerability. You are incredible athletes and so inspiring!!! PS Yes for the metallic trucker hat and more colors for the “THAT TRIATHLON LIFE” crew

[@rbcism]

You both are awesome keep doing you and know you are contributing so much to the sport!

[@Soldier2115]

You make amazing videos. The acoustic guitar montage scene was brilliantly done. We are so lucky to have such clean footage and perspective

[@123Lucuzz]

You guys could both never finish another race again and I would still watch your videos, so fun and inspiring! Thanks guys!

[@donaldbaughcum6980]

You guys are still some of my favorite folks, better days down the road for sure!

[@dklindsey1952]

Great video as usual. Enjoyed your music man and like the way you make each video a bit different. Hang in there Eric you have a lot of folks pulling for you and 4th is spectacular Paula.

Loved the episode. Such an enjoyable variety of candid/daily shots, and it was neat to hear your brief recaps of the race. The live soundtrack was cool, too, thanks, Nick. Keep it up!

[@deannkrill9622]

Love the candid recap and as always love your content!! I was so happy I got to see Paula cross the finish line! I am such a huge fan 😍🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[@nicolasbois61]

Bravo to you both. Paula you're up there with the best. The next one could be the one ``again``. And bravo Eric for stopping, it takes a lot of humility. Next time man. Sorry for the writing not my forte. Salut!🐸

[@parthmache4733]

this vlog makes total sense awesome! nice music too. cant wait to see Eric back in full form and winning races.

[@marie-joseecossette3984]

Amazing vid again. Editing and tunes were sublime #fans4life

[@erikamagrisse]

I thought this was a great videoooo, guys! Paula, you had a very good race considering the field, imagine what you'll do when you feel fitter 👊. P.S. just added this race to my bucketlist

[@emilystevenson9276]

Great video, love watching your journey! Husband and I will be traveling to Bend from the east coast this week to visit family. Any updates on your favorite coffee/food joints since you've settled in? Would love any hints on hidden gems if you happen to see this! Rock on, guys!

[@TheDrgibbs]

Have always loved your honesty. I’m looking forward to the day I get to say hello. We on the east coast love you guys!!! Finally getting our races coming in a month..

[@stephenhandel5565]

Inspiring! Thanks for doing what u do! 🇨🇦

[@thomkatherine]

Glad you had some luck finding good coffee near-ish St. George. As a Utahan, I was wondering if that would be a challenge. I looked forward to this video all week and it didn’t disappoint. You two are so real and I love it. Race on!!

[@alnolan8574]

Nice video! Good luck this race season. Eric stay positive , the next race is coming soon so have a short memory and go forward.

Looking forward to more TTL merch in stock! Keep it coming.

[@scboulder1985]

Hey Eric and Paula, great vlog, terrible race. Kidding, tough race. Sorry for the long post, but if either of you go to utube and go to imterribee vlog. A utuber filmed parts of the race and if you go to the time frame of about 30:30, you can catch Eric heading out with the pack. For Paula, go to about 33:40 or so, the utuber has a great view and 4 mins. of Paula and the Viper(Daniela Ryf) transitioning. Intense! Good luck at the Xterra race Eric. I did one a long time ago and had a lot of fun! Bring the noise!

[@jonathane7819]

New Sunday tradition. Watch your video with a strong cup of coffee, then start the day. Family bike ride next! Well done! 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

[@fysh1945]

Loved the recap. Still looking forward to that whole crane lifting a pool over the house story.

[@iconolater]

Thanks for the honest recap

[@hglenn55]

You really should take Finnley and a dog nanny. The calming headspace he will provide is well worth the effort.

[@papasnowy]

When you're back in St. George for Worlds in September, make sure to swim at the SHAC (Sand Hollow Aquatic Center) In Ivins/Santa Clara - it's never busy and super easy to find a lane!

[@ShaunakKar]

Best fuckin outro also - more power to Nick!

🙏

[@Littlebigexplorations]

I loved that video, it felt somehow quite intimate, that was lovely.

[@davidbrito9529]

Thank you, so much! For the video

[@BaylorSig81]

Nice race recap! Liked the final 2 minute montage

[@CedarScott]

Add Sand Hollow Aquatic Center (in west Saint George) for your swim options, although my preference is Washington City Community Center.

[@tejon2084]

Hermoso video, los felicito 👍☺️

[@brpringle]

FYI. Sand Hollow Aquatic Center off Sunset in St. George has 8 lanes and very few people if you avoid the high school swim teams on the weekday afternoons. Met Sebastian Kienle there in 2019. $3-5 dollar entry but might be free that week for competitors just like Snow Canyon State Park for cyclists.

[@Steven-ko6ky]

Keep going strong TTL! The season is still early.

Shirt , not the other, funny, I dont even like that word, knew these tablets and phones were bad

Not the kind of start to the season that Eric was hoping for to be sure. Is that kind of result a fitness or nutrition issue?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Looking back, more of a general fatigue thing. Since getting the vaccine, my energy levels have been all over the map

[@dataseeker7460]

@@ThatTriathlonLife That's quite possible. Some people have had flu like symptoms after getting the vaccine. I had a friend who got pretty sick after getting it.
