QOM ATTEMPT + Swimming in the backyard

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning into the "PREMIER" we had a lot of awesome comments and questions on there! It was so cool! It just shut off, but I'll keep answering any questions you have here in the comments.. Stay safe and healthy!

[@gregpalmer9922]

Dude that was epic. So much inspiration. I train for Ironman, my 5y/o is a swimmer and started mini Tri’s as a 3y/o. He said he wants to do an Ironman camping trip. Made me cry. Thank you

[@seannifermike1964]

I thought it was a cool video. Plus you get to ride with the badass Heather Jackson. Awesome!

[@fysh1945]

@Life & triathlon Check out Epidemic Sound. A lot of KZbinrs source their music there. It's vital you follow copyright laws and etc.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Great to hear that! Keep it up 👍 we use artlist mostly

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

@greg palmer This is possibly the best comment I’ve ever had on a video ✊✊✊✊✊ awesome, love it

[@Peter-wn3nm]

Love seeing how triathletes tend to be pretty resourceful as far as training. From finding lakes, bodies of water in the middle of nowhere to swimming in their backyards in a kiddie pool with a cord. Make the best of what's up there, staying positive in the situation, and just keep moving forward 👍!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

100%! We’ve got a pretty cool sport in that there’s always some version of it that you can do :)

[@fieldwalker]

popular flat/rolling KOMs are usually done in a group, with a hurricane tailwind, behind a bus. Crazy hard to just roll up and go for it in normal conditions. Ballsy attempt and awesome effort Paula!

[@notredame233]

Where was the leadout from Eric?? lol

[@Steven-ko6ky]

After a week of hard training and no races to sign up for, all I needed was this video to keep me motivated. Thanks again!

[@samuellavoie6124]

My favorite moment of the week... Monday morning, coffee and Paula and Eric new video. Thanks guys

[@Thespecificgeneralist]

Wife and I dig your videos and hang for new ones. It’s getting us through COVID these EricandPaulaVID. Seriously though keep punching them out, loving them here in Australia. They’re keeping us sane.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Absolutely love hearing that 🤙 we’re just trying to have fun and I’ll keep editing if it’s helping :) stay cool down there!

[@SIP]

Your edits are getting more amazing! Sickkkkk. Keep up the good work.

[@barryfield9300]

The last minute of this video is worthy of an Oscar! The drone shots and music are epic. I have replayed this 10X. Eric, you are a genius at editing!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Ahhh thanks Barry! Love hearing that :)

[@Mike.A.]

I think the phrase "it doesn't get any better than this" was invented for days like this one in Patagonia. Thanks for sharing and keep on keeping on!

[@karinlanger323]

Misleading title: so so so much more than a QOM attempt and swim desperation! Friendship, exploration, escape, innovation, and damn pretty pictures.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Picking a title for this one was SO hard. I almost called it “boredom abatement” 😂 way too many things to boil down to a few words

[@dominicmcnamara]

Mate, you integrate great music, rhythm, vibe into all your presso's.....great work. It really is fantastic work.

[@PaddleLAB]

These videos are life saving on the motivation front right now for myself and my boys

[@eastside1997]

I do not think people really understand the effort put into making these. My current favorite channel on YT. You have nailed the narrative which is what I think other creators lack. You have to have steel in the walls before you worry about other flourishes and you have it in spades. Love it!

[@heatherparent3665]

Love the QOM attempt! Great inspiring video, thank you🙏🇨🇦

[@spunkwater]

Love it, love it! Shout out to Paula for taking on a QOM on a whim. I know she can get it!

[@briansnell1192]

I've watched a lot of your vids and I think this is the best one I've seen yet. Really enjoyed it. Well done.

[@nicholasfrazier9719]

This was so much fun to watch. It’s given me something to look forward to when my busted leg is healed. Keep being awesome!

[@EricReprid]

super cool vid guys 💛

[@heatherjacksonracing]

All Tuned In and ready to watch!

[@neilshannon9930]

You're always smiling Heather....good on you :D

[@smongkvlog]

Awesome vlog. Love the shots from various angles. You keep it interesting as always. I'm truly amazed at how you're able to still focus on training.

[@alexgffr9497]

Incredible landscape. Love your videos. Thanks from France 🇫🇷

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Hey! Stay safe over there!

[@cameronhackett8185]

Best video I have seen thus far! Keep up the amazing work team!

[@NMGagne]

Best triathlon videos out there. Thank you

[@garethgratton1033]

Thanks Eric &a Paula. Love your Vlog. So inspirational. This is a very difficult time for triathletes, just watching yours videos keeps me sane. The quality and soundtrack are brilliant.

[@alfonsocarrillogarron8501]

Enhorabuena Eric, estupendo vídeo de animación para los que estamos confinados por culpa del covid 19, gracias, seguir así

[@jimmy.goes.camping]

Loved the video. Loved the music. Camping life looks beautiful! Was so nice to watch a 'feel good' video during a time when it's really needed. Please keep making epic content! :)

[@alisontriathlonlover]

Thanks for sharing, incredible views & amazing athletes 😀

[@joshp7059]

These videos are just epic. They are the highlight of my Sunday night routine after putting the kids to bed and tackling the ubiquitous household chores. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and effort that you put into every video!

[@stuartshine97]

Definitely one of my favorite vlogs! Felt pure. Good $!@# y'all!

[@juliano0moreira]

Great work !! Thanks for sharing!!! Very inspirational as always!!!

[@Andyewu07]

Beyond jealous of your lifestyle! Great video once again!

[@Paul-M21]

These videos just keep getting better! Bring on next Sunday

[@DG-jq7il]

This was actually a pretty awesome episode. Thanks for including the QOM attempt in it.

[@albinodias7345]

Hello Eric and Paula! I have such fun watching yor vids. You guys are very inspiring in this dificult times. Have fun and healthy! Greetings from Portugal!

[@sthi3396]

Thanks for taking us out for a ride. Very much appreciated in isolation times. Keep going and stay healthy!

[@dustineasley6272]

Paula, love your Strava competitiveness! And have to be careful, other women could have been tucked behind a strong💪 draft line You guys rock! Makes me want to quit my day job All seriousness any where I can make a small donation to you two? My girlfriend and I LOVE your videos and anxiously wait for Sunday mornings In my opinion it’s well worth a small donation considering no races for you guys to get pay outs on right now

[@bonn1771]

awesome video as always Eric! and nice ride for paula for the QOM attempt

[@johnnyb1897]

Best video. I've got a smaller camping rig but I'm stuck in Alberta. Unfortunately it's still freezing up here but I'm counting the days until I can start road trips like you guys. ✌️🇨🇦✌️.

[@fysh1945]

Awesome effort on the QOM Paula! Looking forward to the next try w/o the wind. :) And that van has already paid for itself! So great to see it getting properly broken in.

[@phxrsx]

Thanks for the motivation Eric.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

My pleasure, really. As long as you keep liking them and they’re not just noise, we’ll keep making them

[@ryanking1460]

Thanks for this. Ironman Tulsa is now postponed. It hadn't hit me until this weekend. Gravel riding may have to keep me busy for awhile. The swim tether may take some getting use to. Thanks Eric, Paula, Wattie and Heather!!!

[@davidmurray3685]

Another epic vid. Brilliant suspense, awesome effort from the Mrs!!!

[@TheDrgibbs]

Thanks... being shutin in Manhattan... I’m Zwifting and only allowed an hour run trying to social distance...ugh! Love to see your spirits high and your smiles. TG for your weekly vlogs. Good try, Paula!!!

[@dominicmcnamara]

Eric, I reckon you should plan an episode given over totally to playing to Paula snapping back and firing up......you two are sooooo funny when PF fires up and you chill throughout.

[@trevorhayes5414]

Awesome. Great imagery. Love your content. I gotta get to Tucson sometime as that scenery is stunning. Hopefully you guys can keep enjoying the outdoors (very jealous) as we are now about to enter week 3 of the lockdown here in Italy. (with no turbo & no treadmill!😲) And its pretty much been sunny the whole 3 weeks, which extra sucks! We just get to enjoy it from our windows. Stay safe.

[@CG-99]

You need to go for the Mt Lemmon kom - a certain low profile triathlete quietly took the kom recently

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

we might have something planned...

[@spencerallen9661]

This is the highlight of my lockdown week! I wanna go on a training and camping and coffee holiday with you guys! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Hmmm maybe we could organize some things like that after the virus clears up..

[@markglusica217]

Always love when you guys upload, great content!!

[@JakeSteen00]

excellent, loved it.

[@OnAllFOUR]

These videos are fantastic!! Keep going, we'll wish we could be there.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks so much! Stay healthy 🤙

[@kellythompson3733]

Love it! Continually upping your quality and content...Paula looks super comfortable in front of the camera. Could there be a short documentary in the future?

[@micawilli2136]

Love you guys I'm so desperate here in Oregon to swim , running and biking and waiting for word on cancellations on events😞

[@ridingbikes247]

Thank you Eric and Paula for the great content!

[@jesse7446]

Awesome job guys !

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks!

[@1stElement]

This is brilliant as ever - really enjoying it - I’m so interested in the tether stuff - I’ve been doing it when I visit my dads in France - it’s so hard to know what to do - I’m interested in Paulas use of the bouy - is that because the kick tangled up the tether? I’ve never thought of doing that. Also - YES - the snorkel - because the water’s not moving, there’s no bow wave to breath in - that’s another superb idea! I was doing sets of counting 100 strokes and trying to maintain the same spot in the pool... that was all I could think of doing as a session really...! Awesome vid man, production (as ever) is total 🔥- not just inspiring me to train harder but also make my vids better too..!!!

[@robbo3132]

great vids, best music - what was that green fuel tank in watties box?

[@jamesbockey1624]

Zoot kit is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@ethanhockett1207]

What do you mean not up to Sunday video standard? Great shots all around! And honestly that food looked so good 😃 Glad you guys are able to still train in cool places and aren’t stuck indoors.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Haha just the QOM attempt.. I honestly thought I wasn’t going to put it in the vlog and it’d just be an IG video, but we decided to use it :)

[@dshipper100]

Amazing episode guys. Camping looked incredible.

[@barryfield9300]

Great drone shots Eric of sunrises & sunsets at campsites. Paula's creations even camping look (and probably taste) delicious. How did the water at Parker Dam feel compared to San Francisco Bay (mid/hi 50s)? Keep up these entertaining and unique vids, they are much appreciated.

[@joelesparza8812]

Ya'll should try riding White House Canyon Rd. in Green Valley. Nice steady elevation gain.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Going to have to googles that.. thanks for the tip!

[@jeffgrebner7827]

Great content as always! Zoot Stoked!

[@stijndeklerk]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@johngoddard7852]

Stretch Cordz - you should try tying that lower on the post, near deck level

[@chrislillie2384]

My music taste has been changing to whatever you play each Sunday. How the hell do you know all of these artists? Great job

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Haha awesome! We spent a LOT of time looking for music each week 👌

[@kevinhanover5001]

eric, what app/program do you use to overlay music into your videos? appreciate it, I can't find something quality to use for my short insta vids

[@4Dangert]

Love that Paula chimed in QOM!

[@julienpierre9041]

Loved this one

[@bastaconstemani]

Siete magnifici 💪🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

[@danielcavanagh4110]

Not sure if it was answered already but whats the name of the bungee swimming harness Paula was using?

[@markmcfadden7428]

Pretty impressive for an Iphone vid! A beast of a ride!

Thanks and thanks!

[@brunodallagnol1662]

Hi, I follow you from Brazil, I love the videos you post! sorry for my english haha

[@toddmiller2239]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you believe your season to entail and how you have changed your training approach at this moments. Love all the content.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We’ll touch on that at some point for sure. Right now the videos pretty much say what we’re doing and how we’re feeling.. taking it day by day, enjoying what we can.. no idea when we’ll race again. But once we do know, we’ll share!

[@toddmiller2239]

@@ThatTriathlonLife Love the latest video. Keep em coming.

[@trbeyond]

Last 30 seconds was pretty neat

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Ahhhh glad you liked it! (And watched that far!)

[@meggie_runyourlife4593]

Which handlebar is Paula riding on her bike? Loving your videos!!!

[@timob12]

Only Tri youtubers who play good music tired of that terrible techo nonsense. Always look forward to Sundays, you guys rule.

[@parthmache4733]

Awesome!!!!

[@0SKBooth0]

For better experience with the swim tether, use buoy, and/or short intervals for power. It’s hard to get into a groove and do a “long swim” effort. I travel for a living and use the tether in all kinds of hotel pools. Edit I see that’s what y’all did!

[@GSD_Cycling]

What tires are you using while riding all the gravel trails ?

[@_delator]

Hey guy, great video(s) I'm watching from Querétaro Mexico. One question, is there special name of the elastic gear you use in the pool?. Thanks!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

“Swim tether” is what I would call it 👍

[@geoffers12]

Couldn't find it anywhere in the comments, but what tether did you use?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I don’t know the brand specifically.. just a generic amazon one I think.. we borrowed it from Heather

[@barryfield9300]

Hey Eric & Paula, huge handicap doing a TT on a road bike, at least get clip ons bars if you don't have a TT bike handy that fits. Also pick a day with minimal wind. Paula, you have the engine & skills to challenge anyone on this course, BUT don't put yourself at a disadvantage with equipment and weather.

[@gilbertamthor5098]

Wow. Pool looks way nicer than house?

[@jameshallfishing3377]

Good show. Not used to the music. Mute is optional. 😁

[@StayAliveGuru]

We need the spotify playlist bruvs

[@SR77SR]

You guys seem to be having a pretty sweet time. Hope this whole situation isn't hitting you too hard, although with no races in sight it surely isn't too nice. Stay healthy!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It’s just weird. We love training, so we’re still having fun, but the competitive side of us is having a little crisis for sure haha the KOM attempts take the edge off 😉

[@skelinate]

Not sure if you guys might have thought of this, but an evening with KZbin live would be cool. That way we can flood you with questions :)

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We have thought of that, but haven’t tried it yet.. if people are interested, we’ll make it happen!

[@skelinate]

@@ThatTriathlonLife I think if you guys get it out on socials, and let everyone know through a video. If you build we will come! Hope to see you two live, maybe bring special guests like the crazy Watti Couple!

[@wyku_sk]

Couldn't help but let the watts drift up on my long trainer ride during the QOM attempt. 😂👍

[@Yamaha_Bolt]

She’s pushing higher wattage than the big guy himself. LS needs to train with you. GREAT VIDEO

Haha! I dunno about that, but we’d love to link up for a Lionel ride ;)

Cmon. Wind. Water bottle. Tool bag. You totally would have had it.
