Paula Findlay - 70.3 World Champs Taupo 2024

[@AustinrSchneider]

By far the best race recap I've seen across all athletes - love the style. Awesome work here.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Nice! Stoked to hear that!

[@infovidasupps8640]

@@ThatTriathlonLife I just wanted to add more once I finished watching the video. I know it sounds weird, but I truly could’ve watched two hours of you’re just talking about things like that the most riveting video perhaps I’ve ever seen on triathlon and I have other pro triathletes that I’m huge fans of. Thank you again must’ve been frustrating on the bike for sure but thank you so much for the content Paula. I am definitely now a fan for life.

[@joyyboyy1]

Eric, it's absolutely ridiculous to me that I can feel your love for Paula through these videos! And sick shots of sick views! I have so much admiration for you both! Looking forward to what next year has for you both! I will be doing my biggest bike challenges yet - a century ride & an MS150!

[@cchalsey713]

Paula's thoughts in this video can be incredibly relatable for any athlete of any level. Pack dynamics can be really frustrating, and digging deep mentally for a run on your own shows true strength and courage. Her authenticity in these videos/ recaps and ability to continue competing even when the going gets tough is truly inspiring.

[@LenkaSaratoga]

Nicely done 💚👍 Thank you for such beautiful report on your trip! 5:30 swim shot from drone and under water was spectacular!

[@infovidasupps8640]

Paula you are a rock star!! ⭐️ Best recap ever !! Great interview and video. Thank you

[@bartmroberts]

Eric you keep taking the game higher and higher with these videos. Wow that was really freaking good! Paula you're a total inspiration! You guys are an amazing team and a ton of fun to follow and cheer on! Merry Christmas!

[@landonparker1906]

Paula cracks me up with the "I hate this" comments followed by the crazy high performances. Makes you realize not 100% of the time do athletes truly 'love' what they do. Sometimes it's just a necessary evil. And yet they still rock it.

[@dporras84]

Greatrecap! Eric, amazing edit, takes and music! Congrats on a great season!

[@narcisojrsaavedra8632]

Bike is beyond amazing , thank you for the masterpiece of content . Happy holidays from LA 🎄

[@lauren__rose]

Awesome recap! Congrats Paula and enjoy the holidays❤🎉

[@caroaristizabal89]

Training on the roads prior to the race was so scary! The vacuum effect from the trucks was crazy. Amazing video! Loved meeting you on the way up to the volcano, def one of the highlights of my trip to NZ! Keep rocking Paula, you are amazing!

[@thingsaregreathere]

Thanks for the inspiration all year. I’m going to do my first triathlon in 2025, largely thanks to this series. Merry Christmas and keep up the great work next year!

[@davidhaythorn5983]

I do hate missing these mid week updates, makes it look like I am not here lol. But I always am, great footage from Taupo. really enjoyed your racing again this year Paula, time for a break and those epic slow motion TTL Ski vlogs. As for next year I do hope you race T100, especially Ibiza, it would be a lifetime dream to finally watch you race live. My triathlon journey of coming up 33 years never missing a season would be complete. Have a well deserved break. Hope to see you out there next season, this old then 63 year old age grouper will still be toeing the line. Much love from the UK, David x Paula Findley, absolute triathlon Royalty.

[@JOTAGOMEZ23]

Amazing vid, Erik!! Congratulations, and Feliz Navidad!!😁😁

[@caytieee]

Amazing video Eric! After hearing Paula so sick on the podcast I wasn’t sure what to expect but as per usual you killed it!

[@robertnastasi8643]

Congrats on the race. You are super consistent at the top. Nice!

[@antoniovassallo7656]

It was a pleasure to follow the entire 2024 season with you and this type of video. Thanks a lot

[@michaeleagles530]

Congrats on the great season. All the best to you both!

[@markmoloney79]

fantastic video guys, thanks for always sharing the experience!

[@wnegrini]

amazing video. The editing and sound effects made the difference.

[@stevelane6548]

Love the swim footage! Such a a great video and recap.

[@mysho6317]

CONGRATS Paula on another Successful racing season. Busy year to say the least both professionally & personally for both You and Eric. Layer on all the air miles & it's not surprising C-19 caught up to You. Hope to see You on more 70.3 beautiful inspiring courses in 2025🤔 Get Well & Happy Holidays😎

[@paulamenezes6334]

Congrats on the race, Paula.

[@КрасавчикФлойд-в4з]

Hi, great thanks for this amazing video from triathlon world. Good luck in next competition

[@TimGwaltney]

Great recap !!! Congratulations on a great season…… #gottl

[@dwb5043]

Great video. Love the recaps. Great season and year.

[@jbtri]

Great video! Thanks for the recap!

[@MarceloG..]

Great recap..... Congrats Paula!!

[@mikew6840]

Well done Paula and great production Eric, it’s great getting to know something about the personalities in this incredibly gruelling sport.

[@barryfield9300]

Eric, thanks for the recap, as usual very well done. Sixth in the world is not too shabby Paula, those ladies in front of you are all familiar names and world champs like yourself.

[@patricia_w]

awesome video, as usual !

[@steveroth686]

I spent time in Lake Taupo 30 years ago. Such a great place.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It is really special, and the people were so wonderful

[@bretgreenfield9501]

Way to go Paula, for what it's worth, you are by far my favorite women to watch:) and for what it's worth, it looks like you are starting to have fun again, and for what it's worth, when all said and done, it's what's most important:)

[@donaldlamarche9886]

Great consistent season Paula. I know that if you pursued the Ironman Pro Series you would do extremely well. I don't think it would be wise to do both the Ironman Pro Series and the T100. I don't think your training has to change too much to do the Ironman distance. The only thing is that after an Ironman you'll need much more time to recuperate. Good luck to you in 2025, whatever series you decide to race I'll be watching and rooting for you.

[@KateSommerville-q5b]

Great video!

[@emiltjstheim6021]

amazing race recap

[@scboulder1985]

Congrats to you on a great season. Boulder half for 2025 ;) ;) Cheers, to you and Eric!

[@pavanatanaya]

I really liked your Breakfast w/Bob. I can tell he really enjoys you and Eric

[@CareBear-o2l]

Cool intro before the swim.

What a class act. Onwards to 2025

[@heyitsroro]

LFGGG 🔥

[@Crymerge]

Just saw an older Nike commercial. It was about a snow day. I think I saw Paula in that commercial. Was she in it?

[@paula_findlay]

I was!

[@PaulJacobs-v4x]

Pack dynamics, shows how strong Taylor is

[@paula_findlay]

I think riding with a messy “pack” is slower in a lot of ways vs riding solo in the front. Obviously she’s amazing, though.

[@PaulJacobs-v4x]

@ You are absolutely correct. Enjoy your time off, stay warm. Cheers PJ from NZ

[@ChristianP.-zu2xg]

On some days others are stronger, and than there comes a day when u'll be finishing in first place again. This time the others were just stronger. So what. U r great, keep on grinding...

[@larrylem3582]

I'd like to hear all of the pros say, "I like the Ironman Pro series but I wish they'd increase the minimum bike follow distance to 20 meters." Maybe that would get them to change it. The only person I've heard say that is Joe Skipper.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I think 90% of the pros have given that feedback to Ironman officials directly. At least that was my impression, speaking with Jimmy Ricatello post-race

[@paula_findlay]

I hammered this point hard with them in person, not sure if KZbin would be the most effective place.

[@johnbgriffinjr116]

Hope you’re feeling better Paula…. Covid suuuuuuucks 🤨

[@cliffclermont]

Raced the total length of NZ 3x. Plus numerous other ultras in NZ …. And lived there. YUP THE ROAD-RIDING SUCKS ARSE. So bad.

[@EgglyMcBagelface3]

Algorithm!

[@tomparker-s7j]

good personal reflection. I could to without the use of the word like so many times.

[@paula_findlay]

I’ll work on that, thank you for the feedback.

[@PeacefulRallyCar-pw3cs]

The range raider almost makes things worse. Imho it will eventually go to a two day format with a standard bike TT on Saturday and swim/run on Sunday.

[@SallyTimbs-g7z]

Great video!
