- Hey everyone! We're Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay, and we started That Triathlon Life! This is the story of Eric's second attempt at racing 100 miles on a mountain bike. The High Cascades 100 mountain bike race is in Bend, Oregon, is predominantly on singletrack, and was shorted to 90 miles in 2024 due to extreme heat.
All bike details, fueling details, and some race course footage are included in the video!

Probably one of my favourite videos yet - great performance Eric 🏅👍🏼
Fantastic race coverage. The footage captured is impressive, especially considering the course. Between Heather's WSER and this race, Paula has become a champion (again) at crewing. Now the next "trail" you need to make it down safely will lead you right to your best prize ever. Happy upcoming nuptials.
Great footage! Great background music! Great race recap….made it feel like we were there! ❤
Super race coverage! ....Fantastic racing! Well done.
I love crossovers between Heather and TTL videos! (Saw a glimpse of Wattie in this video) Just watched today Heather's Western states video.
Nice seeing Watty during your pit stops, full of experience from Heather’s exploits. Best vid in a while guys, really enjoyable 🙌🏼
So enjoyable! The riding footage was amazing given that Eric is racing while this is being filmed. I love your final decent mentality of HAVE FUN which you clearly did. Positively BRILLIANT! Cheers
Awesome video Eric! Congrats on achieving 4th place.
Nice to hear Wattie. He is an Amazing Sherpa and Camera Man.
Of course, I came to see the after race report. What I ran into was probably one of the best post race mountain bike videos I have ever seen. The shots on this were incredible. The music was on point. I have to watch at least four more times.
Hate missing these mid week drops, makes it look like I am not bothered, but been a fan for so long, if I miss them I catch them later, never missed, I was racing myself Sunday as Paula decided not to come to T100 London, it was super hot, even for the UK .great insight into long distance mountain bike racing, with the usual excellent coverage, and music edit. love all things TTL, and was the only competitor I could see with TTL race kit on at the Salford Olympic event in Manchester UK, stay safe both, much love from the UK, David x
The down hill footage was amazing. Great job. Curtis behind you filming was epic. I freak out on my mountain bike. I only ride it around the neighborhood.
So good. Love the film, the storytelling, and the great mob footage. Thanks!
So professionally made. The overlay of the course, the on bike follow footage and the solid clips from the aid station just made it for a great video. The videos has really come a long way. Great job!.... and awesome race.
Chapeau Eric!!! From your performance, your take aways, the epic race footage and your usual amazing editing. Loved this video! Shout out to Mike Ripley for always putting on great dirt races (Mudslinger etc). Oh how I miss riding dirt in Bend!
Such a well put together, epic video!My wife and I got into triathlon last year and have binged the pod and the TH-cam vids and love them both. Thank you for all the tips, but most importantly the vibes. TTL naysh!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Epic all around! Congrats Eric and all bringing this together!
Great video of the front of the pack. I raced HC100 three times in 2018 (missed mile 68 cut by 10 minutes), 2020 (COVID Kwohl Butte so missed that 68 mile cut by 12 minutes), and 2021 (finally made that 68 mile cut and found out how HOT and heat stroke like the miles are after the 74 mile aid station). You make it look so easy but I know you are pushing 110%!
WOW what an excited video! I truly loved it and happy to see you being happy!!!
Awesome I’m glad you liked it!
Excellent video and result. Probably my favorite TTL video so far. Great work.
Masterpiece on a race recap and showcasing this race. Got me so pumped and I don’t even own a MTB.
Nice work ERIC! and nice job supporting Heather Jackson guys...#TTLbegoodpeople. Music and vid cut excellent as always!
Incredible content, man. Congrats on the finish, awesome to see you shred.
you are such an inspiration! great race amazing footage (top Wattie!!!) super engaging! Specialized must be proud to sponsor you (I am literally for the first time thinking about buying a MTB ;-)). Well done and thanks for sharing!
So good. Your videos are more entertaining to me than anything else out there in this space. Your map overlay tied in with the on bike race footage was awesome!
Great recap Eric thanks so much! That final descent is GOSH, not for the faint hearted!!! By the way massive congrats, you do triathletes proud!!
Now all I want to do is get on my mountain bike! I love your content. :)
Wow. That downhill footage is amazing. CRAZY! Congrats on a great race Eric.
Champion!!! Thanks for the video. It gave me the push that I needed
This inspired me. Thank you Eric for bringing us this footage.
Great flow in the storytelling in and editing of this one. It's clear that you're enjoying yourself and it's fun to watch. Keep it up!
This video was awesome! The music choices were perfect and the story telling was on point. Well done! Thanks for sharing and congrats on a great performance. Keep on finding those adventures!
Great job Eric!!! You killed it! Love the passion you and Paula give to this channel! Good job!!!
Best downhill footage yet, really gave me a sense of how technical and gnarly it was, you killed it! Also stoked to see my company represented in a TTL video (Esri) 🤩
Love this! Really seems to suit your spirit these kind of races. That bike handling at those speeds is unbelievable to me. And great team/community transitioning between the different specialties makes me smile, you are all supporting each other.
Great work and congrats Eric! Wonderful video as well. Thx to all involved!
Well done Eric...FANTASTIC video...loving your spirit and new adventures...great to see "Wattie"...keep on keeping on...
Cool video and great work! I miss riding all those trails and racing in Bend….Nice to see Mike Ripley still being a stud! 🍻✌️
God damn this video was incredible. Great race Eric
Excellent! The music mix and footage were amazing. Congratulations on a great race
Really great race coverage and story telling!
Fantastic video. Can’t imagine how long it took to edit!! Awesome job and loved hearing you talk through the recap. I really enjoy hearing how the pros think when they tackle a course.
A beautiful film, as always ⭐ Congrats on a great performance!

Did Eric finally get a tattoo ??
Loved the video, great performance, 10 10 10 accross the board!
SO GOOD!
Epic race !
Seriously awesome footage.
I'm desperate for you to make some basic bike care/things to know videos - like paula, my BF is my main bike mechanic, but I'm trying to learn more about it so I can keep my bikes well maintained myself and be more knowledgeable what would be upgrades! Maybe a low stakes winter video project!! ❤ great video as always
Hello Eric, well done nice result, I'm sure next time you will be on the box.
Amazing Video Eric 🙌🙌🙌🦾
Great edit and nice job!
Did you crash? Yeah but … it’s on film so it was worth it 😂😂🙌
great riding out there!
awesome!!!!
congrats! great video 🤩
Such a good video!
You're such a beast, Broheim!
That was wicked
Nice! Glad you liked it 👌
Love it
....cool eric....😎loic bruni style....DH....DH....ride on.....
Follow Cam is the BEST cam!!
amazing video
Awesome video!
Seeing you crash during a race and still grind it out reminds me of my Downieville experience 😅
Great video.
It’s how many times you get up, right? :)
Sick!!
breck epic should be on your list (starts next weekend) and bc bike race and then you can hit the TransAlps, TransPyre and TransAndes events... finally cape epic!! haha Lots to do here. Oh and tru grit epic! so much fun
I really wanted to do BC bike race this year, but timing didn’t quite work out. Hopefully next year!
So cool!!! 🐳
Awesome Video! WIth black bibs you would have won I guess 😆
Great video. I subscribed today. It looks like your preparation was impeccable but as I'm watching your pedal stroke, I can't help but notice that it appears your seat height is a bit too low--your legs seem bent throughout the stroke and I would bet if you came up a half inch you could get more production on the climbs. Have you had a bike fit? BTW nice bike and great content. I hope you do more MTB races in the future!
Ugfh i love it.
Race Leadville!
ehhhhhhhhhh..... I like mountain bike races 😉 And courses that are loops
Shhhhhrrrreeedddddddddddddddddddd tillllllll Beeeeedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!
Epic race. You need to start calling yourself a mountain biker
100 miles on a mountain bike🤯 Gravel bike yes, road bike yes, running, yes ! but mountain bike 😳🙈
You'd run 100 miles before mountain biking 100 miles?? At least on the MTB you can coast 😂
The follow cam section doesn’t even seem real 🤯 so fast 😅
How do I find outdoor - trail triathlons where I can use my mountain bike?
I would check the XTERRA website and filter for triathlons!
Why didn't you take the valve out and put sealant in that way.
Rather than having to break the tyre bead and pop it back on.
I like to look inside the tire in case there are any massive sealant balls rolling around
quite disrespectfull handshake (from winner of the race?) ruined the end of excellent video, great job
I think that was the 2nd place guy, probably disappointed that he lost. Still disrespectful regardless, I agree.
2nd place guy was really not impressive. It was a bummer to see someone treating everyone so poorly over a race
Is there a training "hack" that will help you get to the podium, or is that more about a level of fitness or race experience? Looked like your support team was "aces."
🩷
That was fucking rad. Makes me wish I was 20 years younger. And lived out west.. and was a woman….. wait, what?
Your seat post is to low also if you have to have your seat post high U have the wrong size bike
Imho you are using bad technique on descents and wasting energy. Keep the cranks level and shift body weight side to side.
Ryan Hughes has some good videos.
