You should both be proud of the community that you have created...Eric's commitment to his film craft has empowered that community. Kudos to both of you!!

[@KlemenSuligojTri]

That finishing footage is just ... goosebumps

[@brigitteflannery2040]

It was so special to see Paula turn around at the finish and immediately wave and thank the crowd

[@louisrosado3295]

Brought tears to my eyes, Paula looked so humble and grateful. Love the wave. What a great vid Eric - get well.

[@terramclaren2597]

Paula running towards the finish line! I cried watching it live and I just cried again! We are all so happy for you!!!

[@dakyritsis]

over three thousand six hundred views, in less than 2 hours.. 30 a minute, 1/2 per second.. part of it is Triathlon, part TTL and all of it is You. Massive Respect, for how you bridge the love for life, within this sport, we all share.

[@ccuellar6212]

We appreciate your sacrifice Eric for making That Triathlon Life.

[@tabithawills4389]

Paula's finishing face has me all 😭😭😭. The quality of these videos, you guys. It's insanity and I love watching them!

[@kategibson5540]

The whole thing was amazing but the last shot... Wow, like from an advert. So well done, Eric. Did Nick get all choked up at the finish line? I choked up just watching him, bless him. What a good friend he is to you both, you are very lucky 🍀 Well done, Paula, on your result. Sorry Eric you didn't have the day you'd hoped for but as you said the whole season has been a success so you have a lot to celebrate too. There will be other races, hopefully not as cold as this. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you.

[@MarceloG..]

Huge Congrats to Paula! Eric, one of the coolest things about going to races now is saying hello to other TTL members. You two have seriously built a Nation here, and I couldn't be prouder to be a part if it!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

That makes me so happy to hear. That's what I've always hoped we could bring to the sport

[@joanneleyva4942]

IMO, the best most inspiring video of your's to date Eric. You have a gift for videography and story. Paula, it brought tears to my eyes to see the utter joy, wonderment and tears coming into the finish. So proud of both of you!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Wow, thank you thank you!

[@jozoppi8340]

This was beautiful. I thought Eric it was so lovely of you to give Paula the platform to talk about her result, that you came in for a couple of minutes at the end to say how you did and gave the spotlight to Paula was a pretty amazing thing to do. No complaints just simply it wasn't there that day for you. Both of you are really impressive athletes and more importantly people. Much love xx

[@julienbouillot6960]

The emotion at the finish line says it all. Congrats Paula on your result and congrats to the both of you for being such great ambassadors for the sport of triathlon.

[@jurgenwei602]

Thanks again for this great Video. We met Eric and Nick at the Swimmingpool and Paula at Race morning and at the TTL Pop Up store. IT was a blast. This is only possible in That Triathlon Life. Lovely greetings from Germany. Jürgen

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks so much for writing this, it's exactly what we hoped TTL could become someday :)

[@Zwift]

This video makes us so incredibly happy! Amazing Paula, inspirational! 🧡🥳🤩

[@leighthomas8576]

Tears of joy and a wonder at how beautiful this video is! Phenomenal work and storytelling as always ❤

[@pauldrohan3054]

Paula, what a performance! Going head-to-head against Lucy & Flora made for such suspense; made all the better by you crossing the line in 2nd. Add to that Canadian TT, Edmonton and Collins Cup, to name three, and What A Year! Eric, unfortunate day but you've had a rather good year, Alcatraz & Santa Cruz, plus the new ride/run X-terra that you created with Heather. Well Done! Two things that this video reinforces, 1) seeing both of you take pictures at the POP UP with TTL Nation, those genuine smiles on your faces are demonstrative of your authenticity, and, 2) the last scene reminds us what started TTL and what remains the core of TTL today, You! (Paula & Eric) Thank you for taking us along for the journey. Looking forward to where you take us next. Cheers! PS: Can't wait for the ski touring videos.

[@pooky2626]

I just love you guys. It was even more special to see you on that last lap and my other fav Emma Pallant Browne on the podium. Eric! I hear you. I just couldn't accelerate on that bike course. Snow Canyon went on and on. It ate me up for the run. Looking forward to your results from Indian Wells. Eric. Time to heal...for both of us... I dislocated my shoulder, tore my bicep and labrum as well as fractured my hand this year...But nothing was going to stop me competing and completing my first ever IM70.3 worlds.

[@erictravis5995]

Loved this full recap, it was great seeing you both in St George and cheering for Paula during her race. That cold weather was tough (even for a fellow Canadian). Well done Paula!!! And thank you Eric for all your work putting these videos together, I have no doubt that your selfless support in driving the van down and filming/cheering for Paula helped with her success - thank you for all you do!

[@NickGiffin]

Paula's comments over the slow motion of her coming down the finishing chute and at the podium is so cool. What an amazing sport and amazing community.

[@skshain]

Watching the finish for a second time makes me so happy for Paula all over again. Thanks for covering so completely. Best video by far this year.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks for coming with us :) Glad you enjoyed it

[@Zooga_Boy]

"At least I don't have plantar fasciitis!" Damn straight!! Killer debut, Miguel! You're going to have an awesome season.

[@cheetahbison]

One of your best yet! Heartfelt one, killing it as usual! A pleasure to watch and inspiring! TTL fam is proud! Take care

[@kirstenbosonmiller2574]

Wow, this one brought me to tears. An incredible video and I loved seeing Paula come into the chute. Congratulations on a great race to Paula and a great season to Eric!

[@shannonloughran6430]

Wayyhaayyyy congratulations Paula! I'm so excited for you -- you're such a committed and dedicated athlete!! Way to represent Canada and Edmonton ❤

[@nocturnus009]

Thank you for documenting & sharing this journey. I hope this season serves as the steel rebar for the future: fortification for the lowest while supporting the highest levels in the seasons ahead. “Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” -Lao Tzu

[@stephenrodriguez5380]

Congrats on the season you two! I've enjoyed the openness, vulnerability, and production of your videos!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks so much!

[@albertfonta8496]

what a great start of the video and ending. Felicidades Paula

[@epatnode75]

This opening scene is unbelievable. Truly awe-inspiring. The dead grass up close, with the majestic green trees in the background, followed by the sun gleaming. Remarkable job.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks so much 🙏 I've actually been dreaming of making that scene for a couple years now

[@shawnparker2692]

Awesome race Paula. Please keep making videos ! Recovering from a heart attack and watching these reminds me one day I will get back out there race and travel and have coffee!

[@pamgoodley2209]

Several comments reflecting my thoughts on Paula's race and this video. I'll add that the scene with the Norwegians (and others) with shirts off cheering for Holly on the trainer is so fun!

[@jasonrehor7691]

Amazing video! It was so cool to meet you guys at the meet up Sunday after the race - you guys were extremely friendly and I also love my new TTYL hat. Congrats on second place Paula!

[@gbaker125]

This felt like the season finale to a TV show! So awesome, congrats to you both!!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

❤️

[@luisfranco7760]

Wow!! great video, the part where Paula is running on the red carpet was so emotional!!! great job !!1

[@noone2bugme]

Such a great episode! The video shots were beautiful and what great music choices! I had a massive smile on my face the whole time. Lol "the money shot" haha! You didn't want that as the thumbnail?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We did some A-B testing and Paula winning narrowly edged out "the money shot"

[@Aventuras-bz7wb]

Awesome show, as always. Following you from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Killer! Thanks!

Watching Paula come down the chute is really what it's all about. Everyone can see how happy you were and that gives me a great feeling. I have loved watching your journey,.both of you, and really love seeing it all pay off. Watched this video doing a run off the bike to get ready for Indian Wells, so hope to be able to say hi there! Good luck closing season in any event.

Congrats and great video.

[@TheDrgibbs]

Paula, It was a great race to watch and your tears crossing the finish line got me too!...go TTL nash. Too bad you never race in NE, I just got to get my ass out west. Eric, you did have a good year and glad to see everyone's hard work payoff. Looking forward to seeing offseason content. Esp the new van and who buys the old one. Unfortunately, in NYC no need for a van. I remember when you were building it. Seem like yesterday!

[@albinodias7345]

Just love Paula's finish. So inspiring. Both of you are great!!

[@craigthomas8198]

so glad to have discovered your channel today! Thank you!

[@vsrugby]

My favourite episode to date , this edit had everything from insane drone footage , immersive music, cameo’s from Nick to the best finishing line happiness from Paula : that the TTL family could have wished for. Congratulations Eric & Paula on such a fantastic season. I am now looking forward to the next apparel drop with the fluorescent vibe 🥳🤩

[@joemalone4322]

That was super special. Paula over the finish line was insane. It’s what we do sports for 😊 Congrats to you both and all who support you and make it happen.

Amazing. I cried right along with Paula during the live broadcast and I cried watching this. And I’ll probably watch it a few more times and cry some more 😂 The authenticity behind everything you guys choose to do is what makes TTL. Thank you for ALL. OF. IT. ❤

[@rizmaslen]

Well deserved Paula! Proud all round! loving the amazing aerial shots the landscape is stunning!

[@ericroodhouse3994]

Congratulations Paula. Awesome.

[@LuckyNumb3r7]

Omg that finishing footage 😭😭😭 I watched the whole race and still that made me tear up! Can’t wait to see what next year’s season brings to TTLNa$h! Random question, what was that fleecy green sweater Paula was wearing when Eric picked her up in the van in Utah?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

So glad you liked it! Lots of tearing up this last 10 days :) Pretty sure the sweater was Vuori

[@karlaromero3292]

Congratulations Paula! You have a great team behind you! Your videography is fabulous! Happy trails!

[@matthewfabrizio7948]

Such a great video and a great season for both of you. Thanks for sharing the journey!

[@fitmortgagecoach]

So awesome to follow your journey! And it was so cool to meet Paula at the St. George Airport. Congrats again Paula! The biggest bummer is that since I competed in the event I was unable to see the pros much. So thank you for the recap and again it was an honor to meet Paula. Please reach out if you head to Northwest Montana! Lots of great gravel here!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Oh we would LOVE to do a Montana trip!
