Yes! Please do more race breakdowns on all your off road adventures. Great job on a freaking hard, long, hot race! Bend's mountain bike trail system is hands down the best. Kudo to COTA for making it that way!
Awesome ride and recap vid Eric! I was the volunteer in the end putting water in your bottle. Good to see you and Paula out there plus Wattie and Heather too later. Maybe Ring of Fire (half the distance of HC) is in your schedule if your planning more MTB endurance races? Cheers!!
I did my first 137K gravel race, mostly inspired by your videos around Bend and the amazing places where you train. Thanks you for your hard work with the videos.
Love the race recap! I think it is the perfect combination of detailed information and storytelling to show your experience inside the race. I definitely think it could replace the podcast recaps in some format. I did miss more of the cinematic Warren Miller-type storytelling so if you could somehow weave both formats together or leave them separate that would be great.
I like that race recap format on the vlog. It was cool to have visual to have a sense of what the course and aid stations were like. Great job on the race! The incident with the air pod dude had to be super frustrating. Cheers!
This was dope dude! congratualtions on 4th! I'm new to the community thanks to my partner. Huge fan of TTL what you got going on here. Definitely gets me amped and inspired to explore the outdoors!
Eric, congrats! I am not much for mountain biking, but you made everything sound super cool! Also going to take a couple of your nutrition hacks into consideration for my next race! Hope you are recovered. Can’t wait for the next video!
Great performance, fantastic to the point video - feels like having been there. Loved the sprint of Sam or Wattie to the finish line. Thanks for sharing the details!
Yes dude! I dig it. I liked that you had to mention that you "typical do more cinematic videos" just in case people had issues with this video. I like it all honestly, especially if its the difference between pushing out a video and not.. just because it's not cinematic and wildly beautiful footage. I think videos like this provide more insight into you as a person and make the more thought-out videos with amazing cinematography even more amazing and valuable.
Thanks man! I like to experiment and never get in a rut with doing the same thing, but sometimes people just prefer the same stuff so it’s familiar and you know what you’re in for.
I have started using PH gels recently for 2nd IM . Just tried the caffeine ones on a recent run and they are good. The chews are also great but harder on mtn bike. Might try the 90gram carb. I like the smaller ones to help me track my nutrition input.
Would love more MTB content! I got to test the new SRAM GX transmission AXS recently and was really impressed. Curious to hear more on those wheels as my XC bike is due for an upgrade. I tried the Precision gel for the first time this week on a long ride and it was really good and effective. Keep ‘em coming!
I used to be a shimano fan boy, but everything I’ve used from SRAM the last couple years has been so dialed, I don’t miss the former one bit. Once the embargo is up, wheel details 👌
Finally caught up ,hate being late to the vlog' anyway here and present finally, great video a slight diversion from the usual TTL vlog's and a great insight into long distance mountain bike racing. And I note the use of the very British Precision fuel and hydration. Great people who even go out of their way to help even us never has bean's with race day nutrition. By the way their chews are awesome, it takes me so long to chew through them you forget how much whatever your doing is hurting. Happy I am back on track with the videos, stay safe both, see you next week, much love from the UK.
Better late than never! Thanks for coming around :) PF is great, I’ve known Brad for ever and they just send me whatever I need, no strings attached. Love how they roll and sodium was clutch for this race 👍
@@ThatTriathlonLife Yes well I suppose Yours is a bit cheaper than mine? Lol. It is great stuff, they are always helpful as I say even for us everyday age group athletes. I also have every single trucker, beanie, neck buff, soft flasks, they do. take care TTL See you next week, and hope I won't be late.
Awesome video! Just an FYI I think the new sram transmission groupset has a 10-52 rear cassette instead of 10-45 as mentioned. Just don't want anyone to copy your setup and order a 10-45 cassette because those have way less range when climbing. Thanks for sharing all your nutrition, power and strategy too!
Yes, more race breakdowns. Keep them short and sweet. Great job!
Phone/headphone zombies are the worst. Glad you came away with no injuries.
Yes! Please do more race breakdowns on all your off road adventures. Great job on a freaking hard, long, hot race! Bend's mountain bike trail system is hands down the best. Kudo to COTA for making it that way!
I love this format. I think hearing a pro talk through their thinking gives a lot of insight!
Congrats on the race and surviving the crash!
Yes, we love the bike stuff.
Dude! Crushed this race with such limited experience. Can’t wait till next year’s report.
Congrat. Nice vid. Nice recap. Great soundtrack. 🎉🎉🎉
Yes! Thanks for sharing this Eric! Love the cinematic stuff but love these too every now and then. Super cool race.
Never too much race recap. Keep them coming 😁

Awesome ride and recap vid Eric! I was the volunteer in the end putting water in your bottle. Good to see you and Paula out there plus Wattie and Heather too later. Maybe Ring of Fire (half the distance of HC) is in your schedule if your planning more MTB endurance races? Cheers!!

Nice job! Liked this type of report.

Nice work! Solid recap
Nice toolboxes. A real "Garage Mahal".
A slow work in progress. Gotta love a home depot year end sale :)
That was great! Well done
Interesting you’re doing this as I’ve kinda said once I’m done with tri’s I wanna do off-road events. Thanks for giving insight
Amazing job Eric!!!🎉
I think this is the first video that’s dropped since you and Paula got engaged. CONGRATS 🎉!
Haha yah that’s true! Thank you!

I watch most of the shows and this one was great
Right on, thanks for that 🙏

Like this video style
That’s was a great video
