SIGNING WITH SPECIALIZED! (Vlog)

[@FreestyleTri]

So well deserved to be racing on those fast Shivs! Paula, you crushed it in ITU when you were on Specialized bikes-can't wait to see what you can do on them now

[@j.j.thomas9569]

Know people say this every week, but the quality of video that you guys put out on a weekly basis is astounding!

[@jakakaplan1617]

The footage here is just unbelievable, great job Eric!

[@craigmillman3421]

The effect at the start of your dog running around the logo! So cool!! You really must spend some time in editing these and it shows!! Well done.

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

Sat waiting. God only knows why Trek didn't offer you the moon! To keep you. Richly deserved new contract, Paula.

[@pavanatanaya]

David Haythornthwaite Trek is the Deathstar. We all know how that ends

[@jasonbrooks7883]

Seriously. Both good looking bikes, shiv looks better without that darn suitcase on the back!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Glad we’ve put that behind us

[@ingmarneple6072]

@@jasonbrooks7883 I like it😅

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

@@pavanatanaya Yes you are right they are. I used to love them and ride them when a certain you know who rode them. But he and others have sullied the name. The Darth Vadar of bike companies lol.

[@sheilafindlay7660]

Good morning.. just finishing my row, then I’ll watch after . Love you.

[@maol1967]

One of the things about the channel that I enjoy a lot is the music selection, you can just plug yourself to the sound without actually watching and it feels as if you were listening to a soundtrack of a movie with the talking included, the way ii goes off and on with some smooth vanishing is very cool. Congrats on your new signing with specialized, hope soon you get very comfortable with the bike change.

[@vwnmnn5549]

Your footage always gets better. The close ups, drone shots, story telling. Wow. It is a Highlight every Sunday. 🙏

[@vsrugby]

Congratulations Paula on your new bike deal 🤗 Eric this edit was insane beautiful story telling and film making 🙌🤩💯

[@ckokomo808]

Congrats on the new sponsorship Paula! Awesome to see you support her Eric. You’re a great example for me both for relationships, in my own athletic endeavors, and our (my fiancé) new skoolie lifestyle (we’re working on building one!). Thanks for being so awesome! Peace. Chris

[@barth510]

love the swimming segments, plus Flynn is awesome!

[@iotoeurope8778]

So happy to see you two be fulfilled that way, this is so enjoyable and motivating!

[@EatMyPropwash]

Lol, Lucy Charles leaves and Paula steps in. Nice.

[@dominicmcnamara]

Both athletes win, both brands win. Great outcomes.

[@stephenhandel5565]

An upgrade for Specialized for sure!

[@siitan83]

Lucy is the one who others have to catch during any race that Lucy enters.. but Laura is the mother-grizzlybear

[@NotYourAverageGirl01]

Absolutely beautiful video. Can’t wait until Sunday’s to see what beautiful sites you guys are exploring

[@andreahardy8523]

Congratulations! Making me SO homesick for Tucson with all those great shots. Even the infamous “chip sealing” on the roads. 😁 The snow on the Catalina Mountains was so pretty! 🌵

[@mattm7991]

The best part of the post-Sunday morning run routine! Congrats Paula, keep crushing it! Maybe we'll hear about a house in Bend soon? Fingers crossed.

[@susanwiggins6309]

Sunday morning fix! Thanks for another great video and Congratulations on the new contract.

[@Sanko1960]

Watching you two workout is pretty inspiring, but watching Flynn run around - now that's super inspiring! Thank you for another terrific video - content, music, editing.

[@lukasgiese2331]

So this vlog was better than the actual produced reveal video...The sequence of the "first real ride" was stunning.

[@jasonmarietta27]

Saw you guys riding around Tucson today! Happy to have you here. Congrats on the new sponsor!

[@MarceloG..]

Congrats Paula, cheers for a FAST future. Eric, great shots from ST Media House, but honestly your shots are as good or even better. Give yourself the credit you deserve!

[@jaycougnet]

You just raised the bar with entertaining the dog while entertaining yourself! Sick drone usage!

[@gsmith4153]

stoked for you Paula !

[@rbcism]

Another beautiful video with great shots of AZ, thanks Eric! Glad the cactus lesson wasn’t too bad hope he is okay and have fun in the sun!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I just hope it was actually a lesson 🤦‍♂️

[@beatnavyforever]

Awesome video Eric and Paula! Getting better and better. You guys are my favorite as always. Glad you got to meet James!

[@dominicmcnamara]

Paula on a Shiv is going to be unbeatable in a 70.3 in 2021. This year, GUARANTEED, is Paula's best year and though she won't attend Tokyo, she'd push those girls for their podium spots.

[@critercat]

Coldest swim ever? Have you forgotten about WTS Edmonton when it was just above freezing and pouring rain? (Where Erik was first out of the water btw)

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Haha hood point. Nothing will ever truly be cold again relative to that

[@todorgb]

Awesome shots as usual and it hurt a bit when Flynn got that cactus thorn. My dog was all over the TV trying to figure out what was going on. Congrats on the new bike for Paula - we are all rooting for you guys and thanks for keeping us motivated. Every week I watch your videos and want to get out there...and triathlon something.

[@markmcfadden7428]

Nice vid. Awesome background the desert and rockies. Congrats on the new deal Paula.

[@logancravey7640]

Congratulations on the well deserved sponsorship!

[@torinmcfarland9537]

so many gorgeous sequences in this video; really loved it :)

[@mitchatkins7402]

Awesome video-photography guys! I will be cheering you both on at the weekend (but from Thailand hahaha)

[@desmondyap5391]

Wow. No words can describe the bike and the edit.

[@marie-joseecossette3984]

Nailed the tunes AGAIN!👍👍👍 Well done

[@shawnasmith9981]

Awesome new bike!!!! You got my motor running and waiting to get out and start running...Have a awesome week!!!! Be safe👍

[@andylanegra-thoughtsfromth7451]

Ahh, I didn’t know y’all were coming down for Challenge Miami! Im still contemplating doing the race, but not too excited about the swim, Homestead is not known for its fresh clean open water swimming

[@ingmarneple6072]

Do it if you still can, here in my country there aren’t any races. And the pools are closed so take your chance

[@donnacunnin2018]

So sick! ..the bike is great but that dog is the best. It's lovely Paula,make it go!

[@aounjose]

Good for You Paula!!! I recently built myself an SL-7 and its the best road bike I've ever had by far.

[@tylerkubala9461]

Love it!! Congrats on the new bike and gear!!!

[@donaldlamarche9886]

Really good video and awesome music. Keep them coming.

[@paulhayden8492]

Congrats Paula. Kick ass.

[@Natalie-rl7dq]

Hi Eric! Awesome drone shots!!

[@royalgregory4]

The desert colours really pop in this video! Congrats on the sponsorship.

[@troutcreekroadproductions7477]

Being a Wisconsin guy sad to see you go away from your other bike brand! But can never blame anyone for getting an opportunity. Congrats and good luck to you both this year!!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

She’d have liked to stay with Trek but the people in the company ultimately ruined it for us. Excited to be somewhere she’s appreciated 👍

[@wherespinto]

Congrats Paula another quality video in the bag

[@imasurfer2]

Freakin S-Works!!! Well deserved Paula, finding you guys was one of the highlights of 2020

[@dylanbrett2473]

Congrats on the new sponsor. The shiv looked black in the shorter clip but now it looks more like a dark green - beautiful either way

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It depends on the light 👌

[@pablotrochez1]

video vlog con excelente contenido y fotografia, gracias por compartir.

[@anthonywalker007]

The Tarmac is such a good bike I have the 2019 one, need an upgrade

[@mobystwin]

Lots of Flynn = Great video

[@RebeccaMurray-uq2kh]

yes Paula!!

[@grantmanley7983]

Bike looks awesome! But if we being honest... Finn is the real star of this channel😉

[@rudyelizondo1935]

Super workouts and super bikes, I enjoy mine as well

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

After I have been out on the bike today, I back in time for my weekly fix. Eric your videos always lift me even higher than I might already be! Not only great footage of swims, bikes, and runs. But also Flynn the flying dog. Love you guys so much. Lucy Charles goes to err Cube? Whoever they are? Paula more than fills that void twice over!! I am now so old at the triathlon stuff, But as you both do still love living "That Triathlon Life" Stay safe. See you next week.

[@henrywilkins3789]

Hey Paula and Eric, congrats on the new bike sponsor! Out of curiosity, do you have any interest in selling the old treks? I’m in the PNW and would live to pick one up if you aren’t looking to hang on to them.

[@dklindsey1952]

Not many things excite a cyclist more than a new state of the art bike. So happy for you guys. Now when does Flynn get a girl friend? 🐩

[@neilshannon9930]

Lovely foot strike by Flynn at 7:57

[@kristianolauson4494]

Killer Dog park edits!

[@carolineingram9733]

sweet video!! what's the song with the drone shots at the end?

[@ZenEndurance]

Beautiful bike! After seeing several dogs killed by rattlesnakes and owners crying over their dead dog and carrying them limp back to the car, I don't run mine off of the leash anymore. And even that is risky in open desert.

[@hiazhar2008]

Congratulations 🥳

[@Hubertus-ko6yl]

Love your dog ;-)

[@barryfield9300]

Another great intro Eric with the ground/drone footage coupled with awesome music. Your Vlogs never disappoint from start to finish! Also Tucson with outdoor pools and crappy push button showers with tepid water. I would have to get home and take a hot shower to warm up. Paula can take it because she has a bit more body fat than you.

[@paula_findlay]

Careful Barry 😂

[@4Dangert]

Lol "She doesn't like change " said every boyfriend about their gf everywhere:) oh and Flynn is one fortunate pup.

[@GuillaumeRondy]

Choice of music was ace again this week!

[@fysh1945]

Were those white caps in the pool? Nice open water practice. :)

[@christophercampbell5235]

DEFINITELY DESERVING OF ANY SPONSORSHIP AND SUPPORT YOU GUYS TO THE MAX. Just wish Specialized would be a little more realistic in their current marketing climate. They can get bikes to $10,000 buyers no problem, and keep coming up with new ones. Yet can not get bikes to the masses to local retailers, for the average rider and beginner. Turning the blind eye and only working on the advertising game still.

[@MegaMagicbeans]

They are the ZWIFT of cycle manufactures :)

[@ryandallago5730]

James w. Is the man!!!!

[@katykessinger9617]

What road is that in Tucson? Where the bike footage was shot

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Gates pass

[@mathieupapin8146]

Anyone knows what is the last music of the video? I can't find it, and it's great. Thanks :)

[@billtalleyrealestate2966]

Hold on to your hats and get those bikes insured. Specialized just raised the prices of all their bikes an average of 20%.

[@Ghostina1]

Did they come from ... Holzkirchen bzw. dem Ortsteil Föching in Bayern (Bavaria) Or where did they come from in Germany?

[@Kmthickness]

it would be fun to go ride that same area of road. that's in tucson?

[@buyukankaracamivekulliyesi]

What's name your cycle helmet model ?

[@ccuellar6212]

Eric currently has an offer from Huffy USA.

[@chrismadden9126]

BUT THE TREK BIKE WAS SOO PRETTY :( LOL

why..!!!!the transition after all these years...from TREK>>>

Years of hard work and representation in exchange for being talked down to and getting no real support. Glad to be done and somewhere she’s appreciated

song at the end is?

Do you guys live in your van?

[@gregoryvassilakos9972]

Shimano SPD SLs?!!! All the cool people ride Look pedals. Just kidding! I am perplexed that the pedals are the only thing Shimano on the bike.

[@patrickfisher2013]

Will she get a Diverge too?

[@paula_findlay]

Ya!

[@ovabella4911]

The bikes especialy Specialized very expensive i wait for canyon to arrive in Canada they are half price

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

That’s the difference with going direct to consumer and cutting out bike shops

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

10:35 riding on open road and no road shoulder?????? .........Just be careful you TWO GUYS!!! I have been on the road riding for 35 years now, NEVER, NEVER on a road without the white line and and no road shoulder! ...........WTF, you guys!

[@MarkInArizona]

is it time to rename this channel from " Eric Lagerstrom" to "That Triathlon Life" to reflect the true content and marketing of what is represented?

[@jurgenklein9279]

I hope for a good deal for you, but its a plug-ugly bike. For me... Amazing movie like ever. Thanks for that !
