Triathlon In The High Sierra // OFF COURSE part1 //

When a big mountain bike crash caused Eric to miss XTERRA Worlds, he set off on a California road trip while Paula went to race Augusta 70.3. Along the way, he swam in June Lake, rode in Yosemite National Park, and spent time with Nick Goldston, who helped film parts of this show. Thanks to Nick for the good vibes in a very frustrating part of the year.

Chills when you said “Cup. Full.”

[@kcc937]

I’m ready for a full length documentary. Beautiful, love the story telling vibe.

[@barryfield9300]

Gosh Eric, what a masterful production! The awesome scenary shots and your insightful thoughts put into words are pure gold!

[@NickGoldston]

Probably my favorite. Incredible storytelling from all aspects.

[@gregpalmer9922]

Eric, I'm not crying you are crying. Thank you! I wrote you long ago and talked to you in Milwaukee about how your films made my son love triathlon. (time for another Ironman camping trip adventure)!!!!!

[@halfsterker]

Absolutely amazing. This is a fantastic style of video. Just super authentic, beautiful and raw. Cup Full indeed.

[@ebyrge1]

I am a data driven athlete… this video touched the emotional connection to our sport perfectly in a way even I could feel it. Thank you for touching our hearts with this one, Eric. It is beautiful!

[@kidetip]

nothing but vibesss!! unreal, so good!!

[@Mike.A.]

Eric you're a freaking magician with crafting these videos, wow! Congrats Paula on the win!

[@olyjackson3060]

I laughed out loud at "I've got bad news my guy, the bro trip is about to end!", awesome video

[@ryanking1460]

You continue to out do yourself Eric! Amazing. We all need to be reminded to fill our cups. Thank you

[@jameslombardo2]

Beautiful episode and share Eric. Thank you

[@samlunger8777]

LOVE IT! I have already watched it twice, and shared it with my wife, who does not dwell in the triathlon world. Very inspirational! I am post competitive triathlon life now, a lifetime surfer and live to discover new roads, remote waves and new challenges. You have gifted me two new inspirational mantras, "Cup Full" and "Way too much out there to ride the same road every day." THANK YOU! for the inspiration, as always. FYI: If you are ever in western North Carolina, there are some epic routes to ride! Both on and off road. CHEERS!

[@mattiascarlsson3912]

"There's way too much out there to ride the same road every day" - man, that's one for the books :-). Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a cup to fill.

[@edmyouthcouncil]

Dude my man Eric, one of the most creative mastermind storytelling.

[@joonpool]

Your thoughts resonate hard, and the storytelling is immaculate. Thanks Erik.

[@derricksmith8354]

That was wonderful. Very emotional and thoughtful. I'll come back to this video multiple times

[@user-ht9xj9ye2v]

This is a masterpiece. I absolutely love it!!! It moved me on all levels.

[@david_owen]

Amazing, one of your best videos ever. The cinematography is stunning and the soundtrack matches perfectly. Kudos!

[@shasimo1]

currently 8 weeks post op from foot surgery for a fractured bone. feeling all the feels in my seemingly slow recovery process and this really hit home. your vision is a treasure. pardon me while i go back for another watch of this masterpiece.

[@MarceloG..]

The cup is definitely full my friend. I love how you narrate these last few videos, even your voice is freaking great !!!!

[@davidhaythorn5983]

Now watched this episode three times its simply exceptional on every level Eric. Moves my soul so much, That Triathlon Life, is the life for all of us on here. Much Love from the UK

[@bartmroberts]

What an epic film! Killing it like usual! I now wanna ride out there!!!

[@Zooga_Boy]

Eric, your touch on the tri community is a beautiful one. Thanks for these awesome feelings.

[@katherined.harris96]

That was incredible. Thanks for sharing

[@DenverTide]

Going through some health issues that may force me to give up triathlons and how that will affect my state of mind so this really spoke to me. Thanks for taking us along, man.

[@valmoaz]

So cool!! The bigger the life, the better the story. Love your videos!

[@user-du2mo5qy5h]

I am going through a terrible burn out and this just hit me so bad. I watched it and watched it again and can’t hold my tears.

[@davidhaythorn5983]

Oh no a whole day late to this one, hate not being on the premier, but you know Eric you are an exceptional story teller, but this one certainly spoke to my soul, your words are so profound and really on point, in those moments when it all seems to be caving in on us, those are the times we can reflect and re focus, our energies, and absolutley stunning video, footage and the voice over simply fantastic. sorry I won't be late for the next, stay safe both, see you next week, much love from the UK X

[@cdnnurse01]

God's country, love this, thank you for sharing.

[@carlnyman4903]

Could not stop smiling while watching this.

[@gusrallim]

This might be my favourite of your videos

[@markccarey]

Wow!! Eric, this one I will watch again for sure.

[@markccarey]

Just rewatched. Love it when Nick asked if it was worth the drive and Eric with a childlike grin looks up and says "Heck Yah Man". Cup Full! Enjoy the process.

[@abigailh.5244]

This was probably my favorite one yet. Thanks Eric!

[@ronramos9]

Amazing watching the evolution of your filmmaking skills. Amazing.

[@StewTri]

Love this, reminds me of my youth with my love of Warren Millar ski movies. TTL you rock, Eric your videos are double dope

[@karynmentink3656]

Eric this was a amazing on so many levels. Thank you for putting so much of yourself into your work. I to have been feeling the need for more "adventure" in my training as of late so this one really spoke to me.

[@Woopigmavs]

You’ve got a such a gift for this stuff - amazing work! I’m just an average dude that works on spreadsheets all day, but this got me so pumped for a quick after work run in the suburbs today 😎 Also, cannot wait for more Glissade coffee 🙌🏻

[@rickyricardo9918]

Are we to infer he's going all in on the storytelling going forward? A little magic is apparent in these productions when Eric & Nick hang out.

[@betrouwbareyak]

Just plainly LOVE it. The sceneries, music … it just fits. I am binge watching… euh listening now to your TTL podcasts from the start and was curious for the KZbin… next thing to binge watch 😂

[@Terrilyn_Austen]

This was pure gold! The best stories are those that touch you and bring feelings to the surface, this certainly did for me. I am facing a crossroads myself and trying to decide what "fills my cup now". I am transistioned from triathlon to ultra's but I'm with you the training steals away that time that I could be exploring the world in my van with my dog Austen. Thank you for this beautiful video.

[@jelleyoni]

This is a work of art! And a lot of motivation to come through Belgian winter 🙂

[@OakLeafs30]

Love it. Your story telling is always top of the line. I felt you when you said if you don’t ride the road now you’ll never forgive yourself lol

[@donaldlamarche9886]

Absolutely amazing. I loved this video. Well done Eric.

[@robingreenwood265]
