The Couples Triathlon Championship: Race Week Episode 2 (THE RACE)

[@NickGoldston]

Thanks for having me, guys

[@skshain]

You did a great job! Next time a little more Heather!

[@onepunchbud1472]

As long as we mortals can go a few meters with the pros, i consider that a win 😉 Great pictues Nick, hope you will make much more videos / pictues this year. All the best!

[@KarlMeltzersAidStationTime]

I think Nick and his camera won the race. #nickthecameraguy

[@camtoinfinity]

The vibes in this video are 10/10

[@drwatsonpe]

You both looked so relaxed and happy...hopefully that mood carries over to the rest of your season. Thanks for sharing...

[@Jono01]

Well done Eric and Paula and thank you Nick for the visuals. 👍😎

[@wesleyclay3399]

Nick is the man! Great work, it was so awesome to watch you guys compete, greatest couple in triathlon 👌🏻

[@yunxiaogao3698]

“You look like a chicken trying to walk”. Made my day!

[@onepunchbud1472]

Nick is the kind of friend everyone hopes to have 👍 Nice race, good relaxed start in the season - together. Combined with the beatiful location that trip looked great from the outside.

[@houseboxholdingsinc.7810]

Paula & Eric, you both were so relaxed and happy. So lovely to hear Paula laughing so much. Thanks for sharing!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

you need to listen to the Podcast! It's the Paula laugh track 😂

[@triholl]

Nick, you filled in all the gaps we missed watching FB live feed. One of the best videos so Nick is best support and helps to have excellent crew member. That said, I enjoyed watching this format and can see the mental decisions and prep that go into this new format are mind blowing! You did well-VERY WELL, and the analysis was spot on. Can't wait to see you at Oceanside!! Bring Nick... And bring on a super season of races as I know you both will!!! Vid A+

[@DMKARK]

Love it. And as the proud owner of an OG Transition Four hat I suddenly feel like I have an extremely rare collectors item.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

You do. A lot of them were one-offs!

[@DMKARK]

[@MrDeadLaw]

The quality of this vlog is purely amazing. You never cease to go beyond the top end quality standards you managed to set throughout the past years. Plus, you both look very very happy and it is so nice to see. Thank you guys

[@vsrugby]

Awesome story telling and edit Nick loved the cameos too ,fantastic to see all the TTL supporters rocking their merch #teamttl 🤩

[@neilreynolds432]

Like the happiness you guys now have back

[@jilliancarlson5605]

Great work Nick! And great job Eric & Paula!

[@andrelopes8153]

Great work guys! Just met Nick this weekend and he is the best 🤙🏽

[@JarPed]

You two are awesome. Thanks for such raw and aesthetically pleasing content! Always rooting for ya!

[@Miss33S]

what a nice mid-week video from my favourite triathlon KZbin channel!

[@MarceloG..]

Great job on a race set for ITU athletes. You will do great this year on your own distances! Met you two and Nick at St George last year, he is such a great guy!

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

Super cool chilled video today. Great footage, really nice music edit. Great sometimes when it's not all on the line. And the pure enjoyment of swim, bike, and run is all there is! Stay safe see you next week. Much love from the UK.

[@REN0XX]

One of the best videos on the channel so far, thanks for sharing

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Nice, thanks for that 🙏 Our pleasure

[@stevelane6548]

Great video. Really captures the the race experience. Thanks for sharing! Fun to see everyone relaxed and laughing, as well.

[@susanwiggins6309]

Great video and a great race! Congrats Eric, Paula and Nick.

[@jasonbroadbelt]

Love the race week video. Lionel and Talbot would be proud! 😂 😉 You guys did great in the race but it's such a short distance! Obviously favors ITU racers. Still a cool and fun event for both spectators (and racers I'm sure).

[@leighthomas8576]

Spectacular!

[@michaeleagles530]

Great work and commentary. All the best to both of you.

[@BaylorSig81]

Great vid! Love the commentary during the race and the highlight reel

[@edutoro11]

Nick´s video this week was EXCELLENT!!!.... loved everything about it!.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheBritishActingCoach]

I do enjoy your videos. Thanks for putting so much effort into them. Sending love from the UK x

[@rbcism]

Awesome event and video, thanks Nick!

[@garrettbarner2403]

Awesome video! Great work, Nick!

[@geoffbadger9597]

Nice to see that you both had an enjoyable experience and were able to get some footage from the event. I do know Matt Sharpe, primarily because he raced at the Wasa Lake Triathlon several years ago and he didn't have much competition. All the best to both of your during the rest of the season.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

He's one of the best guys I've ever met in the sport, and that's saying a lot. I hope he has a lot of success on the TT bike 👍

[@AndreMorais92]

Great effort, Paula and Eric, love your contents! Thumbs up and greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹 👍🏻 💪🏻

[@vanessaalbornoz9793]

LOVED the video, you three are the dream team! Looking forward to seeing you guys race at Oceanside.

[@barryfield9300]

Eric/Paula/Nick, thanks so much for the entertaining vid it was a mid-week treat! Royale/Stanford & Sharpe/Kasper are world class elites. Don't know much about the French couple, but Mariolaine Pierre is a "major league" runner. She ran her way up to 3rd at Daytona Special shout out to Nick for catching the "schmutz" on Eric's helmet before the race!

[@yann-aelmanceau5848]

Yeah and her partner Clément Mignon won the Alpe d'Huez tri last year, 70.3 Andorra in front of Cam Wurf, and he's the long course national champion, so that's a very very strong podium

[@attilaforintos1941]

Interesting video and in the same time so sweet. Both of you seemed so happy

[@ishankramer]

Wow!!! That was such a cool video from the race. I absolutely adored the kinda raw parts. Storytelling was freakin on point, everything was just amazing. Best video you ever made in my opinion. I know how much hard work goes into these videos, the quality really is astonishing!! Also thanks to Nick for his amazing footage! Keep up the great work and can't wait for the next one!

[@itsmathcart]

So happy to see the gang reunited😍

[@chrisfenet]

What a vibe!!! thanks for sharing!!

[@scottblack8735]

Another 10!

[@facelesssman]

You guys are awesome! 👊🏻👊🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

[@CorySlykerman]

You need to do a long sequence doing the "chicken ride" bobbing up & down in time with the pedals! lol! You guys really are living the dream. Don't miss a moment!!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

😂

[@mikeestevezmiamitriguy2119]

Omg you all did so amazing and man looking up the resumes of all of you before announcing was amazing, every athlete had legit impressive resumes. Great to meet you both and amazing job on your race. The car horn was funny looking back, not at the time lol

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Haha the car horn worked out it the end 😂 but I literally thought “that can’t be it” in the moment.

[@1519Spring]

Kudos to Nick for the visuals and to all the couples for a great race. Hard to believe there were three couples faster than Paula and Eric on the day!

[@radrunning8535]

Amazing video. So relaxing 😊 Congrats!

[@TriHardHam]

That’s a great story and moment that shows the power of partner ship

[@timgwaltney4793]

Love the commentary, great to see you both racing. #ttl

[@billtalleyrealestate2966]

Nice work! Florida suits you both. Flynn would also like the beach. Look forward to your return!

[@spencerallen9661]

You look so happy! Great vlog. 👊

Great video. Loved the edit!

[@shannonday2734]

awesome video and great job

Excellent video, as long as you had fun especially with you’re partner then that’s the reward 👌

[@garygreen1192]

Eric and Paula,s Groove your beautiful together ❤️

[@jjun4219]

Great video as always!!

[@itsmathcart]

Did i totally invent that or was the race supposed to be 4 sprints back to back (eric/paula/eric/paula) ?! I thought you guys would have to race twice!

[@korywalsh]

Awesome vid guys. Hope to see you in Edmonton this summer

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We'll be there! Hoping I can qualify to race as well

[@korywalsh]

@@ThatTriathlonLife awesome. Hope you race as it’s a tasty purse. If you guys drive up I’d love to grab some ttl swag if you are doing a pop up store. Or also I own a couple pet stores here and would be happy to trade for some stuff for Flynn

Good stuff good vibes

Paula giggling is so adorable haha

[@mij9196]

Such a nice video. It made me smile 👍

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Awesome, stoked to hear that 👌

[@ceciliabidwell1809]

So crazy and cool to see you guys race on the same course as our local races. You should have come to our masters practice at the SPB pool!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It was a quick in and out for us, but that would have been sweet!

[@gusrallim]

great footage

[@kenouderkirk7570]

Great job! On to the next!

[@JoalHarding]

Ugh Right in my backyard and I missed it! Been watching y’all train for it but didn’t realize it was rt here! Any more in this area this year?? I will make it! Thank you for your videos! Incredibly inspiring and what a super match! 💕

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Love to hear that ❤️ the pack is Patagonia

[@DavidC-rt3or]

I don't remember for sure, but I think the road is chip seal which is rough!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It’s like chunky peanut butter chip seal

[@joanneleyva4942]

Paula, I have never seen you so relaxed and happy! You seem like a reticent youtuber and a shy, private person.

[@alliewang1706]

Great video! What's the name of the song at the end? Thanks :)

[@igijak]

It's sooo goood to see you guys in such a great mood - laughing off in the hotel room at the beginning and then Paula shouting to Jason - so awesome! BTW, @Nick - when filming both Paula and Eric riding (for example in 5:15) were you driving and filming at once? Sooo sick!

[@NickGoldston]

Yes, in Florida it's legal to drive on the wrong side of the road while filming triathletes on public roads

[@JoonaSaluveer]

Congrats Eric and Paula. Have been following the channel for a year or so and love the footage. Sunday evenings (my time) are favorites just to pick up another video. I do have one remark, though. The quality of audio is not as good as it should be. Have noticed it also before that when you do not speak directly to camera, it is hard to understand. In this video when summarizing the race, then on top there was also music playing which made it even harder to hear what Paula and Eric were saying. Please, use microphones or at least put down the sound of music. I understand that when you make lot of spontaneous videos, it is hard to use mics but sth you should consider for even better end result. Keep going!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I feel you, man. I definitely wish the audio was perfect and clean, and I do have mics, but the extra step of carrying mics 24/7, putting on mics every time we want to film a quick 30 seconds just isn’t realistic 90% of the time. It would really impact the ability to be natural. When I shoot, I’m always thinking about it and trying to make it as good as possible

[@pozityvas4944]

You did it guys!

[@hatchedweanedoutdoors155]

Impressive sack pack flip.

[@scottholland2558]

How long does it take to build the bike after travelling? Hope you had fun racing together, enjoyed your trip to Florida and feel great about having a race in the bank! Onto the next!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We might answer this one on the podcast! But it’s about 20 minutes, give or take

[@scottholland2558]

@@ThatTriathlonLife Appreciate the time taken to answer and super happy you got to do something super fun to start your season! As always, thank you for allowing us a look into your life as a couple and as professional triathletes. 💯👍🤗

Well, you done did it- my wife and I are moving to Bend

[@limlandmusic]

end credit song was really nice. I was wondering what it was, then just googled some of the lyrics and found it, it's called "midnight" by paper planes, in case anyone else is interested! 😛I can't get it out of my head, been listening to it now on repeat

[@chrisstrider]

Beautiful inspirational video What was the music at the end ?

[@chrisstrider]

Midnight by Paper Planes

[@aprilharper2954]

Paula! What brand is the sports bra you are wearing on the first run in the video??? P.s. y’all make me smile! Thanks!

I would be shocked if it wasn't Lulu haha

[@bretgreenfield1511]

Way to go!!! And yes looks both of you kept stress away, and its like I have never heard you laugh, like really laugh, and thanks for bleeping out the word, I dont even know what it was, and dont want to, just would bring down my day:) and so glad not to see the money play a role, money is great, but it's not as valuable as say time, so having a enlighten time, better, that money is only powerful when you know what to dream for, other wise, who needs it, lol now I do know a way Eric can maybe get 3,333 back, I mean its one third, lol but he only has to race me, and he has time to think, as I would want to do it around, santa cruz 70.3 time:) however it will be the opposite of sprint, lol thinking over and back, high way 9??? Ocean swim, along the cliffs, west clif drive, then we run the 70.3 course twice, and then I do believe this race will be like mavericks, surf spot, like get very popular, why, because flat bike riding, the kind in triathlon, is like super boring, lol, who pick flat bike riding, lol it was designed to see what displine was superior, however its like when they picked biking, they forgot hill climb, so we fix that, lastly yes the visualization is huge!!! However if having trouble, you just start over, and make it up, get it??? Its all about having your mind race, before the race, like I beat eric everytime I visualize us race, lol its close, only because I want to talk with him, while we ride, lol, but then when the run comes, I seem to run like the wind, jk:) not really, but dont take it personally:) all in all,,great job team!

Haha I’ll say guaranteed 6 seconds. Depends on how much of a leg dragger you are

This race concept is a bit silly. Why not broaden the reach and make it a mixed relay, rather than a “couples race”.
