BUILDING OUR DREAM GARAGE - pt1

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 #triathlontraining #paincave
Last week we raced Challenge Miami, so we've got a little bit of a down week to make some improvements on our new house. Most importantly, the garage. We are building out half of the garage to be a bike workshop and half to be a gym for indoor triathlon training.

You guys bought a new house and then decorated the pain cave first. Priorities...

[@famesame3691]

😆pain cave ✔️ coffee ✔️ figure out the rest later lol

[@1Larriva]

Is this not normal procedure ?

[@euroswilliams7303]

Who doesn’t? Those who do house first are the odd ones!

[@mattmitchell8796]

painting over the bikes... Brave

[@alexisrosack3322]

Thoroughly enjoyed the “outtakes” at the end of your video! 😂

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

Your weekly videos, always cheer me up. This week it really helped We lost our beautiful little French Bulldog yesterday. So we are broken. Feeling a little better after my weekly check-in. I couldn't even contemplate training yesterday. Now going for a run to try to clear my head. Thank you as always for being my pick me up, and inspiration. Give Flynn a hug from us. Beware the dog that only bites you. Once they are sadly gone. Stay safe, see you next week.

[@triholl]

Another great video in the books. The biking on the road of packed snow/ice was gnarly. The video of biking on those narrow trails is fantastic! And the garage wall paint is perfect! Workshop area is so cool! Now you have the tools to continue with remodel, as I know you will! Great start!

[@christiangerquest8937]

I like seeing the building of your pain cave and shop, always good to see what the pros do. So more please!!

[@barryfield9300]

Awesome off road footage, super complement to training on the road. Great for strength, handling skills and focus. No day dreaming on the off road stuff you guys do. Also very impressed with your "handyman skills" for the pain cave. You're a multi-talented dude Eric, You're a pro in a bunch of things!

[@chewingthehandlebars]

Loved the methodical approach with the garage. That workshop area looks fantastic! Good luck fitting out the workout side. Looking forward to seeing it all finished

[@CG-99]

Like your bike rack....what brand is that?? Thanks!

[@barryfield9300]

Eric, GREAT swim shots of Paula! Slo-mo, FFW, underwater, you're a pro in a number of disciplines not just triathlons!

[@jeremyw4858]

Awesome video Eric! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

You bet! My pleasure

[@JarPed]

TTL: Making Sunday mornings awesome. Great vid!

[@DorukBalkan]

Colour choices look amazing! Looking forward to some TTL photo shoots there too! It's very impressive to see you painted the whole paincave in a week, on top of all the other things. You two are an inspiration! (& Flynn of course!)

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks man! It's easier to knock out work when you're stoked on it!

[@timobrien256]

Been working on that backward dive for years.....Paula nailed it!

[@dklindsey1952]

I enjoy the do it yourself attitude that Eric has on everything. Kick ass hard worker’s on about a half a dozen different fronts. There should be a date night video coming sometime soon, right.

[@sophiapugh5696]

loving this! Thanks for taking us along on your journey! The sage is the right colour... I agree.

[@toddfoster975]

“Awesome video! Chock full of everything I love! Couldn’t hit that subscribe button any faster. I laughed out loud at “Yo guys,...uhh gravel bike!” 👍😂

[@matguillon]

not sure what's most satisfying : the mtb/gravel curves or the yellow wall getting covered 😍 !

Other people must work, too...

[@smerrill365]

Props for sending that rocky section on the gravel bike!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

🤙

[@johanneskletzien4164]

I loved the initial swimming-shot of Paula. Thanks for the video :)

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Glad you enjoyed it! Our pleasure

[@chrismccallus7374]

Love the pain cave stuff. Keep the updates coming.

[@BenjaminBriu]

Enjoy the video!! Keep them coming!! Enjoy the process

[@jonp7267]

Agree with below. Love me a 90” outtake at the end.

[@Thelavern86]

I started my parental leave now here in norway and have 25 weeks.. Every time my son sleeps i have to see another episode of this. You got me addicted guys 😂👍🏊 🚴🏃!! Keep up the good work! 💪💪

[@parthmache4733]

OMG that was an awesome video. I know i say that for every video but cant help it, its just awesome. the editing and music is getting better.

[@j.j.thomas9569]

hi Eric. Great vid as always!! :) Just wondering what wall mounted racking system you used for the bikes. Looks really neat! Cheers

[@user-rl3ef4ju9k]

Some form of mattress to protect the new paint on the wall under the bikes maybe?

[@rbcism]

Pain cave looks great, enjoy those change orders that come from the project manager! Mad skills on the gravel bike Eric!

[@dcfan40]

I'm really enjoying the content. I subscribed about two weeks ago and look forward to all of the new one's. I raced Challenge Miami (1/2) and it was great seeing the lead up and post race video. Keep up the great work and I will be following both of your careers going forward.

[@dataseeker7460]

Glad to see you got some bud time in on the bike. Pain cave/workshop is gonna be sweet when you're done.

[@simonkalechstein1239]

Incredible footage this week!!!

[@petersteel4525]

Eric, the quality of your videos literally gets better every week!👍👍👍

[@vsrugby]

Gym/Garage looking insane love the colour choices 🤩 outtake montage brilliant !

[@michaelmontalvo5757]

Super technical bike trail! Scared the crap out of me!

[@imasurfer2]

Loved this one man! Great work as always

[@govody]

Good luck guys in your new crib. When you are all settled in, it would be great to get your prospective on the transition from the city to a more remote location and the challenges you are seeing in Bend so far. I am in the same move boat and you are totally trailblazing the way for me now !!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We can do something like that, but honestly, for us it feels more communal since our last place was very much on the outskirts of Portland. Bend is actually pretty busy, and full of people who do what we do, so we already have way more friends and feel "normal" versus being the crazy exercise people on the block back in Troutdale. We don't really do many "city" things anyway, except for eat out, and Bend has good enough food variety to keep us busy.

[@govody]

@@ThatTriathlonLife thanks a lot for the follow up, looking forward for more content from you guys on the life in Bend. As always good luck in ur next races and keep up the great content 👍🏻 .

[@jermng]

Hey Eric, what bike mount bar/strip is that?

[@alessiopennati8864]

Good question I also would like to know

[@jolliffe62]

Also would be interested to know!

[@nicholasfrazier9719]

Keep on rocking!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

always 🤙

[@SamirMishra6174]

The opening music with the editing is so upbeat, great work man.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

thanks dude, glad you like it

[@scottholland2558]

Truly love Sunday when your video comes out!! I really appreciate the variety you put into each video from training, shopping, coffee, nutrition pre or post training . . . as a non-triathlete I’m curious about what the impetus is to get a bike fit and change positions and why a fit one year isn’t correct for another year? Cheers guys and have an awesome week-hope you are enjoying being in Bend and the new house.🤗🤙👊🙏

[@laurenbrey5369]

Nice setup!! I know that was the first thing we did when we moved to our new place. Garage/pain cave essential

[@miked3535]

You don't mess around! Looks amazing.

[@leobodemer1285]

Flynn is a legend!!!

[@Mike.A.]

seamless edit at 10:18 when Paula appears 👍

[@BillBrinkop]

I’m training for Saint George and trying to landscape my yard and run a business at the same time. The long bike and run weekends don’t make it easy. Great vid as always and congrats on the new house!

[@NickGoldston]

That craftsman setup is out of a dream. My jealousy knows no bounds. I’d never leave the garage.

[@ENJOY_THE_JOURNEY]

Baller dude. Thoroughly enjoyed that one 🤙🏽

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Awesome! Stoked to hear it

[@heff5525]

@Eric which hooks did you use to hang the bikes, I have 808's and 62's on my bikes. Wanted to use same hanging method you used in your garage....BTW Epic F'ing finish this past weekend dude......Kudos from Charlotte NC

[@triathletesofutah5777]

Glad to here you two will be joining us in St George! I assume you're heading down for the 70.3 I'm May? Or Worlds in September? Have you both qualified for 70.3 worlds?

[@felipepalmerola7108]

Wow the pain cave looks good

[@wanderalmeida9584]

I love it! Thanks from Brazil.

[@antoineperron1313]

Always great videos! Great music choices. Keep grinding :)

[@angelaviehland2705]

Love bike tool area. What system is the bike hangers? We have almost 10 bikes between us and storing them has been difficult especially when most are mountain and gravel.

[@jadebailey506]

Hi Both! First of all you are both the best, love all of your content and the stoke you bring to triathlon. Apparel is also amazing. Random question because I can't remember. What is the espresso machine you guys ended up getting? As a fellow Canadian (shoutout Paula) I am curious so I can have an idea of what to get so I can keep my eye out for when Bay Days eventually roll around again!

[@fernandoluina9544]

One of your best episodes

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Wow thanks!

[@adityakapur9394]

The video quality is improving massively. Pro Triatletes and now pro vloggers and editors

[@bretgreenfield1825]

Very nice music!!!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Many thanks!!

[@marcobertoldi3649]

I love your pain cave but today in Montreal it’s beautiful sunny day time to get the Willier out for first outdoor ride.lol

[@RyantoDidik]

Great job ❤️🖤👌💯

[@TheDrgibbs]

I need to redo my pain cave .... jealous

[@billanderson9971]

Loving the weekly updates guys, thank you. Only a little jealous of your coffee machine - its on the wish list. One question for you.....what is the brand/name of the bike storage system you put up this week Eric - looks sweet and am looking for similar.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

The rack system is by Rubbermaid. You can get all sorts of attachments for it 👍

[@cdnnurse01]

Got a chuckle out of "Freakin impossible to get anything done on the house when you are a triathlete". ha ha being a nurse, 12 hr shifts, home owner, dog owner and trying to train, I get it

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Haha sounds like I’m preaching to the choir. Bravo 👏

[@ginamarie5575]

Hey first time here , I love the garage! Nice work , wow Oregon looks amazing 🤩 I’m from north Cali . So many fun trails to Ride all over the west coast 🚲 how much are the homes in your area ? Just curious 🧐 thx

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I don't think they're as expensive as California, but it's hard to find anything in Bend with a garage for less than $600k now. Unless you go a bit out of town. Even two years ago, it was only $350k. But then everyone in California heard about Bend 😂

[@ginamarie5575]

@@ThatTriathlonLife omg !! Yup sad but true that’s why I moved to Florida!! So much better for real estate 🏡 major shift in society right now , hang on tight . 😜 wild ride . Ride bikes more ! 💪🏻

[@jms493]

Get some Swisstrax for the floor...it will transform the whole space. Nice work.

[@ObesetoBeast]

That mountain bike looked CRAZY. I am too much of a weenee for all that 😬

[@terrancebyron3840]

i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream new series online ?

[@leandrogage9409]

@Terrance Byron Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it =)

[@tomassullivan4422]

@Leandro Gage yea, have been using flixzone for years myself =)

@Leandro Gage Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!

[@arthurbronson1038]

@Terrance Byron Glad I could help :D

[@Thespecificgeneralist]

Hey Eric. What was the bike rack for the wall? I am renovating and looking for a good one to put in my pain cave. Much appreciated Ps your vids are killer as always

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Rubbermaid and thanks very much 🙏

[@Thespecificgeneralist]

@@ThatTriathlonLife thanks legend!

[@Joedufeu1295]

More vlogs like this 👌👌 but obvs can’t forget the training haha

[@scboulder1985]

Eric great video even with all the house work you and Paula have to do. What is the altitude in Bend where TTL is headquartered. Here in Boulder, where it is currently snowing! we are at 5,328ft. But, I head 1 mile up the road to TO and Rinny's house, just below 6,000ft. Can't wait to receive my TTL Miami shirt. Keep it real!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Yo! Altitude here is just shy of 4k, so it's not brutal, but you notice it when going hard. Stoked you got a shirt!! They're on the way 👍

[@jamacgre1]

Taking that extra few mins and pulling the panel cover off to paint made me happy for some silly reason. I’m on my second house and past owners painting over trim, face plates, and registers drove me crazy.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

nooooooooooo. Why. It's four screws!

[@healthyfunkyfree]

Hey Guys, apologies if this is a repeat question. Who manufactures the bike hanging rail and fittings please. Very tidy unit

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Rubbermaid 👌

[@moreauaurelien59]

so good !

[@seanmerritt9764]

Sweet!

[@jennifermanya2186]

Hey guys, love the content as usual😊. Just wondering do you plan on painting the door as well? I think white would go well with the grey wall?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Definitely going to paint the door, just ran out of time this week!

[@nicolasa.keller715]

In how much time did you perform that swim workout?

FFS ERIC!! Don't get injured moving that heavy shit around!!! Ok the motherly finger wagging is done. So happy for you guys!

[@shawnasmith9981]

Nice bike ride👍

[@thonygn]

How do you like the wahoo watch? I’m thinking of getting it but want to know from real world experience how you like it.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I really really like it. Pretty much solves all the annoyances I’ve had with Garmin products through the years. So incredibly easy to set up and change data fields and it seems super accurate so far

[@wesleyclay3399]

When’s the next batch of coffee comin?? Loved the first

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Shipments go out on the first of every month! Next roast is going to be even better than the first. Tasting notes are updated on the site now: thattriathlonlife.com/products/coffee-subscription

[@alexcrosse9970]

That’s cool you live in bend, I’ve lived here my whole life

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I can't imagine how it's felt to watch it change. I've been over on the Sandy side of Mt Hood my whole life, but even seeing the change in Bend from trips as a kid has been crazy.
