From Pro Triathlon To 50k - Course Record at RUN THE ROCK

[@max1000000ify]

"high fived so hard I lost track of my pace relative to the course record" is the most true to Eric problem I've ever heard. Congrats on the win and thanks for taking us along!

[@crwdhw]

TTL now has two meanings. That Triathlon Life. And now That Trail Life!

[@Yurkevich22]

Forget the course record - the videographers, whoever did all those amazing shots, are the real legends!

[@suzanneh1605]

A million high fives! Your natural amazing habitat- grit and contemplation, tactical strategy and sheer beauty! Well done. Congrats to Paula too on a spicy field and crazy cycling regs! Strong finish both of you!

[@CG-99]

For sure one of your best videos yet, great story, great imagery, great soundtrack. Chapeau 🎉🎉🎉

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Awesome! Glad you liked it!

[@robbyd3892]

This.

[@sahandizadi3419]

I haven't seen you so happy in a long time like this! Nice work, man. Western 100 and UTMB are maybe on the horizon. Keep up the good work! Congratulations, that was impressive.

[@seatownfan]

Smith Rock is amazing! Congrats on your course record!

[@johnrwilker]

Congrats! I’m so happy for you, thanks for taking us along with you.

[@WellsPetras]

Wow, nice work Eric, new chapter possible. Nice to have options! Congrats! Vid quality continues to hit!

[@TheMountainSunski]

Beautiful footage. Thank you for sharing your epic journey and congrats on the win and record!

[@mobystwin]

That was by far your most entertaining/ inspiring video. Wonderful. After 35 years of triathlon, I love trail running.

[@ryangullett4285]

The algo led me to stumble upon your channel years ago because it presumably believed all the trail footage I was watching would be a great crossover to what became That Triathlon Life. Watching this, which is already - in your first attempt - easily one of the most fluent Ultra stories told to date on KZbin, has me feeling like it’s all come full circle with That Trail Life! Excited to see what’s ahead, and personally, while there will be lots of calls for UTMB, WS, etc., I think you do an immaculate job sharing the essence of ultras just like this one. Such a natural and genuine fit. Chance to seamlessly bring a competitive tinge to ultras without upsetting the “vibe” that Paula observed so perfectly on the pod telling the story about the bus ride in and the food after. Congrats on what was totally more than a run! Loved it.

[@BPM-x4k]

A freaking movie!!! And it is a banger. What an effort, awesome

[@davidhaythorn5983]

Hi, TTL just caught up with this latest Vlog here in the UK, snow and cold. Great video as they always are, fab work Eric another string to your bow. as all triathletes know, the base training for what we do on a daily basis does allow us to wonder off in some different directions, swimming events, biking events, and running events, the base we carry daily allows us to explore all these different adventure's. its great to see you smashing these trail run races. The off season here now, its cod wet or snowy dark but the adventure we are all on continues. The TTL lifestyle just keeps us all focused and reaching as high as we can. Much love from the UK, David x

[@Allie3613-i2z]

Congratulations! You made that look easy. I love how your friends were there to support.

[@camillaswenson]

amazing images, and great shots. fantastic edition. Congrats to the Filming crew, and Eric.

[@bertellijack]

One of the best TTL video ever! Congrats!

[@mattbarrett7369]

Forget the physical effort, the mental gymnastics you need to push, pace, feed and hydrate all alone for that much distance is crazy and amazing. Thanks for the footage and the breakdown! ❤

[@TimGwaltney]

Outstanding effort Eric! Awesome video, makes me want to run

[@edutoro11]

Congrats Eric!!!!... this video is epic as it seems the race was

[@jonpost1853]

"That hurt"... ..."as it should..." Congrats Eric!

[@alisahagenberg9150]

Loved watching this and following your journey from this and all you do! TTL and all it encompasses is such a positive energy! Thank you for sharing your story and your Highs and Lows with the kids! 💪💜

[@brooksfraser1559]

Thank you for sharing this incredible footage of the race course! It was very comforting to know you felt the same pain as a normie also running her first 50k. Congrats on the win and course record - impressive stuff!!!

[@joerg.schneider]

Good job! One of the best vids of the channel. Really inspiring!

[@pamnaylor298]

Loved this! Massive congratulations! Inspiring! I really liked the music you chose to go with this one! So happy for you and your accomplishment! Way to go Team!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

The music was mostly chosen by Michael, who shot the bulk of the film! I’ll make sure he knows 👍

[@hdrd84]

[@donaldlamarche9886]

Awesome performance Eric. That looked really difficult. Congrat's.

[@kelly-e1w]

So I guess the only question now is...do you do a " Full Heather Jackson" ...or a "Half Heather" ??

[@roywaterhouse3276]

Great video in the classic Eric style. Congrats on the win and course record!

[@trijon900]

[@timpfluger]

Great effort and thanks for sharing a great video.

[@mineandmitch]

Beautiful footage! Congrats to Eric and Nick! On the podcast you mentioned it was a technically heavy course? What did you mean? Also amazing to see how different the trail is there vs trails here in oz!

[@jasoneastman3054]

Congrats, dude! And great video.

[@davepreston1900]

Congrats Eric!

[@mattia_pastore]

Congrats! You looked great through the entire thing.

[@texajersey5569]

Beautiful course! Great job

[@JonathanCardoz]

congrats eric

[@DMKARK]

Races & videos like this remind me how boring it is living and running in the suburbs of Chicago. I'm so jealous of anyone that can experience these types of trails on a daily basis.

[@austincrain4919]

W trail running! Welcome to the gang!

[@tonycarlsson7409]

Congratulations 👏

[@patiencemcginnis7078]

Congratulations on setting the course record! How about signing up for the Daybreak Gorge Waterfalls 50K (or 100K) next?

[@Traviswalknyc]

Amazing shots!

[@patrickfisher2013]

Gravel racing!

[@peterm5877]

I've been rocking the ttl for years as an imposter hoping one day you'd come to the dark art of ultra trail. Tul merch coming soon? I'm in. 😂

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

TTL Trail Division? Exploratory squad? There will definitely be something…

[@peterm5877]

@ThatTriathlonLife TTL Trail Division would be cool. Looking forward to seeing it take off like TTL did. Thanks for the great content as usual. 😎

[@beverleynoble190]

Welldone 🎉

[@Terrilyn_Austen]

[@fysh1945]

[@mikew6840]

I love it when pro triathletes come and play with us normal people… 😅

[@Menegale123]

Time to rock the moustache-mullet combo

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

😂 that’d be a major 2017 throwback

[@StewTri]

Cracking video, even better running - team TTL

[@RickKanesGhost]

Would love to see you at Chuckanut or Black Canyon

[@cyclox73]

TTRL - just gotta add that extra R.

[@discreetknight]

That ‘Trail’ Life begins …

[@dbsherwood]

Jimmy Chin is the Eric Lagerstrom of climbing.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

DM us for a free anything you want on the site. Comment of the year 😂

[@jvrij]

Beautiful question which trail shoes where you wearing

[@josephkerley2011]

The answer to what’s next is obviously Black Canyon 100K

[@monsterenery765]

👍👍👍

[@oneillssportstherapy]

You need a new long sleeve to get AG1 off your ass Eric!! hahah. Amazing record, Paula and you are so inspiring for any athlete

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I have a couple that DON’T have that and I honestly grabbed the wrong one the morning of the race 🤦‍♂️

[@oneillssportstherapy]

@ just make sure you say you got that course record with no help from AG1!! All natural baby 😂

[@beatweinmann2589]

quality

[@FiguringOut50s]

How much biking and swimming are you doing now?

[@paula_findlay]

As much as I do 🙃

[@ChristianLeeTri]

What's next? CanadaMan! I'd volunteer to crew you (done it twice and know the course well).
