Chattanooga 70.3 - Full Race Week Experience

[@triholl]

Yet another great video. The "deer in the headlights stare" Paula has shows the GAME FACE race strategy is ON! Congrats on the podium Paula. And Eric, you're upping the PTO rankings and off to a strong start!!! You're both going in the direction in the season you want to, and I look forward to more great racing!!!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

you know it all too well 😊 Thanks Cathy!

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

I cannot begin to explain how fantastic your video work is Eric, and how the music edit is exceptional every week! Another super video, Love the bit where you both got doorstepped by the guy passing by, who recognized you.LOL. That would be so like me! If I was ever fortunate to meet you in person. I am 60 years old in three weeks, and your videos tell me why at 60 years old and after 30 years of toeing the line by a, lakeside on any given Sunday, I still live eat, sleep and breathe That Triathlon Life, with every part of my being! Stay safe, much love from the UK. See you both next week.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

this made our day, thanks David. We hope our bodies are still functioning and letting us get out there 30 years from now! It's great to hear that people are still sticking with and loving the sport after so many years :) truly the LIFE

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

Love it more when you take the time to reply. Much love from the UK.

Thanks for letting me relive last weekend (from the front of the race)!

[@barryfield9300]

As always Eric, you make the best vids in town with great footage and music. Gracious caption to Kenny Withrow for the race footage. Massive congrats to you & Paula. I don't often cheer for non Americans, but Paula is the exception. Keep those vids commin, they are the BEST!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks Barry! Glad Paula has been able to win you over 😉

[@wnegrini]

Killer video! Killer soundtrack

[@desmondyap5391]

Video feels like a tv series. Great content as always.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Wow, thank you 🙏

[@davemcginnis1568]

Solid performances from both Paula and Eric, with Paula backing up her first place win with a second place here. You both look strong for this stage of the season. Should be interesting to see your choice of races to do for the rest of the season.

[@billgutierrez2980]

Saw y'all there. Smiles everywhere around you and Paula. Chattanooga was a great course....cheers!

[@wedwardsvt]

Holy crap those are wicked fast times. Once again, great video!

[@michaeleagles530]

Another amazing video. Makes me want to travel. Thank you and congrats on your excellent performances.

[@gusrallim]

well done eric and paula !

[@megancooper6130]

I look forward to these videos every week. I’m in graduate school and I have almost no time to myself. Thanks for brightening my day and giving me inspiration.

[@johngoddard7852]

Great production Eric and Paula! You're really getting very good at this. Way beyond the boring interview style videos some others are doing. Fun!

[@mamarshall01]

That’s one of my best friends! Loved seeing you guys race last weekend.

[@christopherdorr561]

Congrats on a great race guys! I love watching these videos every week. I did the Chatty 70.3 last year; so bummed I missed an opportunity to meet y’all. Your videos helped me get through my first two 70.3 races. On a positive note, that bakery is 🔥

[@bonn1771]

great video as always and great job!! looking forward to your next races for both of you!

[@jeuelc]

Congratulations to both for the wonderful finish. Looking forward to the race recaps

Making me want to go run on some squiggly trails today!!! Gorgeous video!

The squiggly ones are the best ones ;)

Well done to you both and a great video

[@TheMehairy]

I loved this video. I used to live and train in Chattanooga, so it is great seeing familiar spots. I was suppose to race this one, but I’m currently sidelined for the season due to illness. Great to see ya’ll did well.

[@susanwiggins6309]

Great video and fantastic races both of you! Well done!

Okay Niedlov Bakery was the best thing I had the morning after Ironman Chatt. So glad you guys found it!

What a great episode! Eric you have been crushing the races this year. The field of competitors was huge in Chattanooga. I love that course. I’m going to do my first half there next year.

[@KwadSkwad]

siiick! I wish I had been there to cheer you guys on this year! def my fav 70.3 I'll be doing again some day. Super congrats Paula!

[@PVillapah]

Great job and awesome results 👏, happy for you guys and looking forward to hear the post race review and what's next

[@davepreston1900]

I love your videos - very motivating. Now I’m going for a run - thanks!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

love it!

[@andystone481]

It was really cool to see you both finish the race. I hadn’t planned on going down to watch the race this year till I saw you both were race. Great race from both of you! Great video!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks Andy! That's so cool, thanks for coming out :)

[@MarceloG..]

Even though you didn't film the race parts, the editing and music was just great... it felt intense! Congrats on a great race for both of you!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

If I could magically film and race simultaneously, I would haha Thanks 🙏

[@301272rd]

I would totally go into super fanboy mode if I saw you two coming out of a coffee shop😀 Great video as always!

[@InfiniteeScones]

We live in the town where the feed store and DG Market was, it's called Flintstone.

[@toastygloveman]

Don't know who Kenny is... but really good shots. And good editing of course.

[@jht09]

Awesome video I really dig you guys where do I find the titles to the music i really get a great feeling from the music thanks

[@parthmache4733]

Nice video

[@terramclaren2597]

Paula what shorts are you wearing on the run? They look so flowy

[@tartar0472]

Hey Eric and Paula, do you guys have any advice on cities that aren't as bike friendly as Bend? Or maybe some advice for dealing with busier roads?

[@jorisdb1]

Someday racing in Western Europe by any chance? I look forward to the next video and races from you ...

[@sjoerdvanwayenburg7572]

Hi Erik (and Paula), Congrats on another great video! Can you tell me what the opening music is? Btw, will you be putting out a new play list any time soon? Love the sounds you guys work with! Stay strong this season 💪🏼💪🏼

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Hi! the song is the instrumental version of "Underwater" by Channel 13. We're working on a couple new playlists, yep :)

[@sjoerdvanwayenburg7572]

@@ThatTriathlonLife Thanks very much, truly amazed at your quick response! Really looking forward tot your new playlists when they come out. All the best!

[@learning2tri729]

You guys should open a coffee shop in Bend

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I'm thinking a TTL concept store with free coffee for shoppers/hangouts

[@chrisritchie7605]

1st Time Viewer, not sure if this question has been asked in the past, but are you able to share your playlist for each video? Great vibes would be interested in downloading to listen to on runs!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Hi Chris, welcome! 90% of the songs we use are created specifically for video and aren't usually on the major streaming platforms like spotify. But we've created quite a few playlists on spotify with music we listen to while training: open.spotify.com/playlist/61SWwR1ykknr8L88BnpkCn?si=e80832703c814f21

Did you use the Thule bike box for traveling? If so how was it? Thanks. Keep kicking ass.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It’s a dream. The build quality is super confidence inspiring and it’s easy to pack. It’s particularly great with the Shiv because the base bar folds down. With most TT bikes you’ll need to take the base bar off and strap it to the frame.

[@navinschaduangrat1562]

Hello from Vancouver BC! Love the vlog and podcast (don't call it merch!) Quick Q: what's Eric holding in his hand on the run?

[@korywalsh]

I think that’ll be the podcast code now, don’t call it merch lol

[@pamgoodley2209]

@@korywalsh I'm glad Eric banned the term! haha

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Holding my Wahoo rival.. I usually put it on in the first mile but I was just focused on running fast with so many guys off the bike at the same time

[@RichardGming]

I live in chattanooga, the dang race blocked off my exit lmao

[@billtalleyrealestate2966]

Any thoughts as to why you carry your Garmin watch during the run? Is it a "takes too much time to fuss with issue?"

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

In this case, yep. Normally we both put them on, but coincidentally we both were too caught up in the race to do it this time

[@chriswilliams6495]

Can you elaborate on both of you running with watches in hand?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

With such a big pack coming off the bike together, a super fast transition was really important, then we usually put them on while running the first mile, but we both decided it sounded too hard while running this time 🤷‍♂️

[@chriswilliams6495]

@@ThatTriathlonLife I just figured you were working on evening out the watch tan line :)

You better try out some bourbon when you're in the bourbon belt.

what's up with backward hat running, am I missing somethign?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I (Eric) have done it forever.. keeps sweat from running into my face and is a little cooler than a closed front (forward hat) 🤷‍♂️ just feels right
