That snow sequence is some of your finest!

thanks! 🙏

Paula is right on, don't pressure yourselves into buying a home just to buy one now. Leave info (sq. ft./# of bdrs & baths/garage/price) with a realtor/friend and let them help you out. As always Thanks for an entertaining vlog, Bend, OR is beautiful!

[@Dmcsquared68]

I have a wirehair that I run every mile with. The most important thing that I can tell you is to train him on leash using a pinch collar. The pinch collar isn’t mean and it doesn’t hurt him, just gets his attention when he needs re-direction. Dogs want to learn to follow and be your companion. Teach him to: “STAY”, “WAIT”, “HEEL”, “WALK”, and “SLOW” (each is unique) while his collar/ leash is on. SLOW will become your running command. He will inevitably do all of the same commands during your workouts and will become an absolutely tireless running partner. It’s so worth it. Take the time to train him and make the command “GO” or “OKAY” distinctly for off leash in the woods as his reward.

how is this channel not yet at half a million subscribers?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We don’t have clickbait titles, shocking thumbnails, or tutorials 🤷‍♂️

[@MegaMagicbeans]

Not enough enough Drum & Bass in the music of course :)

[@fkhan98]

​@@ThatTriathlonLife much apperciated!

[@dklindsey1952]

Flynn gets a play date in the snow was such fun.

[@rbcism]

Good luck and be patient, one of the most important purchases you will make. In the meantime enjoy training and life!

[@alisontriathlonlover]

Amazing snow trails ❄️ Good luck on the house hunting 🍀 You are always inspiring 😀

[@HarrisonRolls]

Omg that snow run has to be one of my fave montages you have done! Have fun house hunting guys!

[@katiereid7019]

Love the happy snow dogs!!! Awesome video, as always. Safe travels down South.

[@aileenzimmerman6841]

That snow scene with Chimmy and Lindsay...1,000% Phenomenal!!!

[@zuzanakasmanova7323]

Omg guys. Love you so much 💛. Your videos are on a whole new level comparing to other sport vlogs 💯.

[@daneisenhart6916]

You will really like the indoor winter swimming facility and tribe in Bend after reopening. I did an extended visit and it was one of the best features of Bend. I’ve heard it’s crowded in the summer.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Yeah we can't wait. I've also heard there may be a new pool on the way.. no idea if that's a 10 year plan or what though.

[@jdyke1234]

Eric, you have such talent with the camera! Love the videos! Good luck with the house hunt.

[@MrJosephmasters]

I love the music on your videos! Great song choices and it really adds something special to those shots!

[@owendrew6708]

Just watched this on my break at work in hospital. Snow running looks epic! Can't wait to try

[@mattmarcus6985]

Eric, Paula - got to see your win in Daytona as I was there racing myself and got a killer PR that day- I do real estate full time in nashville TN and have a couple connections out in bend but 1) you’ll find a house - wait for the right one 2) bend is beautiful- hope to see you out on the course in 2021

[@aquanuggets]

Showed that snow/dog sequence to a friend and we both started inexplicably crying 🤷‍♂️ So great guys. Thank you!

[@tomhedy360]

I haven't touched a pool in over a decade and in no way am I a tri-athlete, but you guys put out some quality content that maintains engagement. Keep it up and best of luck on your journey!

[@gregpalmer9922]

Keep looking....be patient...it will happen I promise!

[@alanbeaumont5845]

I have been following you for a while now and just want to congratulate you on a brilliant channel. The videography is first class and both of you are very inspiring.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

wow you've been with us for a whole year! Thank you! 🙏

[@patrickfisher2013]

You both inspire even an older guy like me! See you in Bend.

[@lyndavidito1852]

That winter running & dog scene was amazing! Foreign Rider clothing looks good👍🏻

[@triathletebenny]

How could anyone dislike this video (looking at the 5 peeps who clicked thumbs-down...🙁). Amazing stuff!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Maybe they don’t like dogs

[@eazybriezy2514]

not gonna lie, Flynn in the snow has got to be my favourite part of this video

[@ryanking1460]

As always great video! Safe travels to Tucson! Looking forward to the desert montages!!

[@jordanbryden]

Awesome sauce! D and I are happy to see you guys rolling! Roo however is feeling jealous-as :P

[@JarPed]

Another banger video. Love these. Great work!

[@suzannekaplan7852]

Hard time to buy but be patient. Some good advice given already.... But what I really want to know is when are you going to start skate skiing and skijoring?! Was fun to see you drive through my old neighborhood and stop at a local favorite roaster, Evan's brothers. Enjoy Tucson! Make sure to eat at Cafe Poca Cosa.... after a Star Pass ride of course

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We do touring in Canada, just need to get the gear down here

[@todorgb]

Great shots on the snow with the doggos! Good luck on the house hunt!

[@ENJOY_THE_JOURNEY]

I’ll most likely be getting the same dog as well. Just waiting a few more years till my military retirement so I can be around more to properly raise a dog. Great Flynn footage. Loved it!!

[@gregdreyfus]

The scene running with the dog on the leash is so relatable! I’m always getting spun in circles with mine 🤣

[@yetogoicolea586]

great video!!!! thanks for filmingit and keep on rocking and don't rush into gettin the house you'll know when the one comes up you'll feel it =)

[@PiquePictures]

The weather looks a lot like weather in Vancouver BC!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It's very similar. Portland and Vancouver are practically the same. Bend gets snow obviously, and is super dry and warm in the summer though

[@PiquePictures]

@@ThatTriathlonLife I really enjoy your videos! The videography and editing is top notch!

[@ynie1]

We just bought a house in a neighborhood south of Denver, and it was an unbelievably difficult time. I don't know how the situation compares with Bend, but the prices in the Denver area just exploded the last year. Every open house we went to had just lines of people showing up to it, and bidding wars are the norm. It took us 6 offers to get the house we wanted, and we did overpay. However, given the insanely low interest rate, the monthly costs effectively evened out. Best of luck to you two!

[@ScubaStephen0o7]

If Flynn is pulling you, is that Strava Doping? Also Eric is not lying about the weather in Oregon, I heard it rains there sometimes!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Yeah we might try to do a sub-4 mile with Flynn. Definitely dog doping 😂

[@blairmatthew]

Dude, that edit with Flynn was amazing, my wife is in love with him!

[@scottwarren8478]

Amazing shooting! Good luck on the house hunting

[@jasonbroadbelt]

Good luck on the house hunt..the snow sequence was amazing. As always, the cinematography was great! Dogs looked like they had a blast.

[@jaycougnet]

Loved this, being real! My wife and I looked at over 100 houses before we found the one that sung to us. Hope you find one that sings to you soon!

[@parthmache4733]

it snowed here today in Texas too!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Whoa!

[@NickGoldston]

Swim bike run real estate: you guys do everything fast

[@AntonioOrru21]

Amazing video as always

[@shawnasmith9981]

Every Sunday I look forward to seeing the videos. Love the park an scenic views.. Felt the burr 🌬 keep up all the awesome work, safe travels and be extra safe. Tell next week 🌬

[@1stElement]

Bloody love these vids, I really do.

[@neilianparker6487]

Don’t rush into it guys something will come up that’ll be perfect for you both without compromising 👍

[@jralicea6299]

Keep focused, patience regarding the new home to surface. It'll be epic when it does, until then, keep working!! All the best in 2021 for all that you both do!!

[@csultrarunner]

What a life.

[@tstede27]

Awesome Video!

[@totalwellnessbyjc]

Awesome video and editing. 🤙

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

Fantastically beautiful snow running footage towards the end of the video. Exceptional videography. Another great video. House hunting never a joy. Look sleep on it look again! My older years and greater house hunting experience would tell me. Your new home will find you! Stay safe, see you next week.

[@dklhmfamily4833]

Crazy beautiful shots...so nicely done.

[@fysh1945]

That opening... All that rain... All the time. I say buy in AZ or CO. :)

[@kevinrens4827]

Boulder Colorado !

[@Emilymaricle]

I love that you are planning to move to my home town. Bend rocks!! I kinda switched places with you as I am now living in Calgary. You should go check out Tumalo. There are cool trails off of cline falls road. Would you ever be interested in living in a tiny house?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

we could do a tiny house if it had a barn next to it for training 😂 we’ve looked at some stuff around tumalo, I would dig living further out once our jobs don’t require a swimming pool every day.

[@Emilymaricle]

@@ThatTriathlonLife Ha! that makes sense. Good luck with the search!

[@mister_ray]

Def should buy in SW Bend, Direct access to trails and river.

[@dominicmcnamara]

Ohhhh, and two things Slowmo of Flynn in snow.....OMG...... brilliant footage. Flynn dragging Paula, can WADA drug test Paula for that amazing training adaptation, ha ha ha

[@markscott2259]

Haha beginning :). You folks acting weak! Best ever running in rain, hail, sleet, mud! Love though. Badass runners in Bend.

[@Mike.A.]

Great vid as always! Thank you and safe travels to AZ 🙏

[@billtalleyrealestate2966]

As a real estate agent, my comment would be: There's always gonna be another house to look at. So take your time. What's important is location, location, location. Don't fall in love with a house you look at. Buy a house that meets your needs and fall in love with it. Don't let El Dogo pull her over and get her injured being tied together.

[@djjazzydean]

take your time on the house hunting. Good advice Paula

[@jeanmarcel6196]

Good luck guys hope you finds what you looking for.

[@robertshaw2625]

Look forward to these every week. How do you get the running shots that are elevated? Longer camera pole extension? The shots are so smooth...well done.

[@dennissimon6380]

Amazing Videos, thank you so much for sharing your experiences! How do you get the music for your Videos or rather the rights?

[@stephendavis7707]

Good luck i too would try not to rush ..

[@blocheadz]

Greenville SC guys!

[@katherined.harris96]

Flynn was so good standing there for his wipe down! Also, What are the tights that Paula is wearing in that cold weather?

[@geolocate]

Buy the first one!

[@runbikeswim0411]

The snow song is sød ven - state of mind

[@MelodiousMonks]

Consider citing the music guys! Helps the artist out, helps the audience connect with the amazing song choices you make.

[@matthewcrave7118]

What's song and artist that plays in the running sequence and outtro (state of mind?)? Love your music selection and everything you guys put out!

Novo Amor? Pretty sure it was him. What track? Good tunes BTW!!

Great video!!!

[@angelaviehland2705]

I totally don’t blame you for brining your espresso machine. My dogs and my espresso machine & grinder are my BFF’s too

[@bradleyjames3000]

That lens flare is incredible Also do you use a mavic air or pro for drone work?

[@kellythompson3733]

Ok,this is just an idea but have you considered parking your race revenue in a lot in the Deschutes...use your next race win to fund services and a custom build......

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

yep, have definitely thought about it. We do want to be pretty close in though so we can meet friends for rides/runs easily. Even lots are $$$$ right now though

[@nivedhap7844]

Excellent music choices for your videos! What is the song at the end of this video?

[@khaubensak]

State of Mind by Sod Ven

[@bmwtor]

You are buying a house, guys, not bagels. Don't rush it, in this economy time works in your favor. When the perfect house appears you will know it right away. Good luck!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks! I think we’re not communicating how long we’ve been looking while not here. We’ve been watching for the right thing since July, we’ve just got this small window to actually look at places in person right now.

[@AppleFanboy81]

Maybe you explained this in a different video, but why the move from Canada to US?

[@edutoro11]

Flyn has to be the fittest dog in North America!!! he could win the Daytona of dogs!!! LOL..... He looks like the happiest dog as well.

[@kevinrens4827]

We should have a fittest Dog contest. My 2 Australian cattle dog blue heeler mutt rescue dogs got up to 20 miler long runs with me last season. They will run though a brick wall for me. Tough as nails. Great endurance. But they don’t like off days. They are like roosters (sun up and they are insisting movement).

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Haha Flynn needs a couple years before he can compete with that. Cattle dogs are amazing

[@sylvainbauge]

We have a Hungarian vizsla. She can run fast and for a long time. Haven't found a dog that can keep up w her...

[@edutoro11]

@@kevinrens4827 Yes, but can they swim and bike as well???? because I think Flyn can......LOL

[@bonn1771]

the right house will come along. just wait same thing over where I live

[@marysalmon2367]

live simple, forget upgrading, if its safe and serviceable, good enough. Free yourself from money sucking trends. you just need a place to lay your heads. whatever you upgrade to will only go out of date.

[@conman7070]

Bend is cool. Check out Santa Rosa, CA.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We’re big fans of Santa Rosa, love that race

[@bretgreenfield1825]

Hey guys, could not even finish the video, because I am so excited,,,but it just a thought, but why stop at Oregon, whenyou can come train in Santa Cruz, just go for a swim down the cost,,,week or two, you should make it, and promise, it will make you like the best swimmer ever! Or drive down,,,I will gladly show you around, I mean, like Eric, you were the guy I watched win the alcatraz tri, its like what started my dream,,,and would not mind, talk about some kind of bussines, as you videos, are like the best, it was kinda of special, as I saw you walking with the Dayton check in the video, I said, only if I can have that kind of funding, only to wake up and see one of my stocks, though the roof,,,now my dream of winning Hawaii ironman is growing,,,and what better way then to bring you into my life, however if you do accept, the visit, it will be magical,,,keep up the great videos, as you are the best, and I Paula your running looks super good, and was going to comment on it before the race, however, keep running , and watch high school girls run, and copy them,,,as they seem to run perfect naturally,,,AND YOU WILL WIN THE HAWAII IRONMAN TOO, SHOULD BE IRONWOMEN

Those pockets of sun are known as sucker holes. Just enough sun to convince you to go for a ride.

Save a little longer until you can affford something nicer 🤙🏼

[@dominicmcnamara]

No pressure to buy, in fact, with your campervan, I'd encourage you to rent, be patient for the right rental property.....but then invest the remainder, as savvy investment and rent will always out run buying a principal property. Downside, you might have a lease end or move, downside might be investments don't appreciate as fast as principal property....but living in Bend, is not NY It's no gamble, it's the savviest money management.

House hunting is all about the SCHOOLS. When people say Location, they mean the Schools, since no one wants to live in a location with crappy schools. Start here, www.greatschools.org/oregon/bend/schools/?gradeLevels%5B%5D=e the ratings of elementary schools in Bend, OR. If you can’t afford at least a 7 rating school now, then don’t buy a house, your future kids shouldn’t suffer because our rushed to buy a house, sorry.
