CHALLENGE MIAMI - Final Workouts

thattriathlonl...
Hey everyone! We're Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay. We're both professional triathletes; we train for and race triathlon for a living. Thanks so much for subscribing and helping us keep triathlon fun.
#thattriathlonlife #challengemiami #triathlontraining
These are our final workouts as we prepare for Challenge Miami. The quintessential pre-race triathlon workout is the brick session. We did a full hour at race pace on the bike, straight into a 10 minute run at race pace to simulate the feeling and strain of "switching over" to your run legs. We also captured our final swim session: 18x100scm best average leaving on 1:25.

Check out The TTL Coffee Project: we'll feature small roasters, coffee will ship out on the first of the month, and we'll walk through how we like to brew each roast. The goal of the coffee project is to help out these small roasters with some exposure and a little business boost to help them keep doing what they do! For you, it means world-class, curated coffee delivered to your door. Please check it out and join us in this awesome project.

Came here for a regular weekly vlog; got treated with a French press tutorial, several alpacas, and a Linsey Corbin cameo. Absolutely pleased

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Haha! Over-delivery is our goal 🙌

[@kellyginther4978]

4 min French press now I know what to ..thanks

[@NickGoldston]

We're all foaming at the mouth to see you guys race in Miami, Eric especially.

[@brianradwanski6544]

Riding the rollers watching Zwift on iPad mini...RESPECT!

[@murraywanner4767]

That run form is spectacular Eric! It looks so effortless, even though I know it's far from it. Your consistent positivity is very inspiring.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thank you! Definitely not easy, but feeling good right now 👍

[@stu09]

Eric man! I am ready to witness you deliver the race we know you’re capable of! I know you can rumble with the best! Go and smash it my man!

[@korywalsh]

I’m with Paula! I use a chopstick to mix. Also on a side note, got passed by Eric on zwift today lol

[@beau_ultra_ironman1235]

This is the first video I’ve watched from you. There is something very relaxing, unique and different about your videos compared to other triathlon videos I’ve see. Think I’ll subscribe ☺️

[@patrickchalmers4780]

Can't wait to see you two race this weekend! Good luck!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks!

[@barryfield9300]

Super entertaining vid Eric, great mix of the swim/bike/run workouts (swim set captions very helpful). The slo-mo run shots are a fine learning tool for us age groupers. The non training shots, coffee/smoothie making and those llamas (9:00) make for great viewing. Your content & editing skills are a level above all the other tri videos out there. Best of luck to you & Paula next week! Kick some major ass, we will be cherring for you guys!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks Barry! Always love your comments

Just saw the field for Miami. Everyone's first look at Jan after a hiatus. Good luck to you and Paula and don't get dizzy running around in a circle. TTL!

Good luck guys!

[@swimon9868]

Great swim set to do before Miami! Good luck

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

A great video, as always. Love training montages with the music bike and Eric's run piece. Seems Eric has dropped his On shoes already? And gone back to Adidas. Well On make super shoes also. The Cloudboom!! Lol. But I think I did see Paula in a pair of Cloudflow at the pool? And well spotted a Precision Hydration bike bottle by the trainer. I use their stuff it's great even for not-so-great athletes like me! As for coffee, my super new Grey cappuccino cup arrived here across the pond last Monday. Super quick. It now sits alongside my already acquired original black one, on top of my coffee machine. My Sunday is now complete. Hope you both have a great race in Miami. See you next week.

[@ckokomo808]

Saw the adidas and was surprised I haven’t seen those before! Super cool you love them!

[@stevelane6548]

Eric, it's almost hard to tell if your true passion is making coffee or triathlons. Hahaha love the French press tutorial. I've been making FP for years but eyeball it now. Good tips and specs in this video! Paula, love your swimsuit!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Haha I do like coffee, but I’m most stoked about doing this collaboration project. It hits all my passions: coffee, small business, filming, and of course I need coffee to train well 😂

[@freerunspeed2165]

Ha Ha Eric, I asked Paula on ST why you chose to wear the Carbon X in Daytona? I’m happy you got your hands on the adios Pro. I used to work at adidas and it’s nice to see you support that incredibly cool brand.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

These shoes showed up to daytona 2 days after the race :( the Hokas were a last-ditch effort, only thing the local run shop had

I never realised how much advantage super shoes gave until I tried the NEXT% myself.

Which scale are you using for the coffee? I have one at my valley house, but need one for my cabin (which is where i made the coffee in my French Press for my IG story that you saw). I like the size of yours. Also good news on the new paint color! haha. Have great races next weekend, and hugs to the pup.

Hey! It’s the brewista smart scale: clivecoffee.com/products/brewista-smart-scale-ii?ref=accessories I’m a big fan of the combo timer and scale.

Ordered!

[@amyfinlay309]

Great music through out, but especially the swim sequence!!! Who is the artist???? Great vibe in this video-did you use a new camera? Seemed to have a different view. Loved how excited Eric was over coffee-totally relatable 🙂

[@marktimmins7969]

If you want a soft whiteish cream color, I like White Dove from Benjamin Moore. Also, paint the ceiling Super White from BM in a flat finish. And I like the walls eggshell, and the trim / doors, semi gloss or satin?

I like to pour water into the French press (cafetiere) by pouring, then lifting the kettle so the water is coming in from 2-3 feet up. Agitates the water beautifully

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

That also sounds like it would be visually fantastic haha I’ll give it a try
