Way to TRANSCEND, Paula! Congratulations on the podium finish and the payday.
Cool shot of Jan cheering on the women!
OK I hope you guys read this. I was at Nats with my 14-year-old son who is competing we're walking down to the venue Sunday morning and my son smiles and waves at this woman wearing a TTL T-shirt. We have a great conversation she tells us she watched the youth relay and how much fun it was to see chatted about all sorts of things and then I asked oh did you have a child that raced this weekend? She said yes, my daughter is Paula Finlday! My son had such a fantastic conversation with her. She was so sweet and engaging and congrats Paula we were rooting hard for you we were by the lake on the run. My son was actually trying to give you splits. 😀
Great vid Eric with first rate footage and music! Kudos Paula on a great race and podium finish. Your race recap is much appreciated. You are blessed to have a master bike mechanic as a partner!
Paula: I feel like crap and there are boogers involved
Also Paula: Podium Finish
😅
Loved watching the race! Stellar performance on its own, the fact that it wasn't a "priority" race for you to win makes it all the more impressive!
As a bit of a triathlon fanboy, it was super cool seeing you all there in Milwaukee. We saw you rockin' the GoPro & mountain bike on Thursday while out on the bike ride.
Congrats to Paula on the podium finish! You both must be tired from all the events & travel. Keep up the awesome work!
🤙 thanks for watching! It really was an awesome experience for us as well, having so many triathlon fans around
Been watching TTL videos for quite a while and it was cool to see Paula race in person. I was there to race on Sunday but in the crowd on Saturday and my observation was Paula is a fan favorite. I did think her T1 was a bit relaxed, I was thinking she really has a lot of confidence in her ability to overtake on the bike. Looked for Eric but didn’t spot him. However, came across Holly Lawrence wandering through the crowd on Friday afternoon. This was a great event for age group athletes especially being able to watch the pros in action from up close. Congrats on the podium finish.
Wow. Podium despite allergic reaction - makes my respect even bigger. Great video, especially as you are traveling. Thank you. Love all the details in that film, especially 10:35, Paula @ 2:10, mood switch between pool/AirBNB, "the local", the 300-500+ watts, also Nick's teeth, Jan, Zac ("Still Here"), the retro chairs, perspectives, time lapse, the *. The music. 20 minutes of gold standard. Eric, you're an artist!
Thanks Urs!
All of this...slow clap. You freaking legend! Way to go Paula.
Love eric to pieces! Thanks for forcing paula on camera sometimes. She doesnt always seem like she loves chatting to the camera but when she has a story its always so cool to hear!!! Thanks for sharing so much of yourselves ❤
When stress is high around races, it’s a tough balance to strike between “being there” and getting content :/
This week I mostly needed to be there and then try to film from afar. Glad you liked it 🙏
The review of Wilson park pool is so funny. I used to swim there with my club team in high school for our morning practices in the summer. I have to say it looked a lot cleaner than it ever was when I swam there.
Looks like she transcended it!
Yeeeeaaw 🤙
I couldn't watch the mens race but made it down for the women's. Was so excited to see Paula race in person. Then I saw Eric! He pulled up next to me on his bike talking to someone about Paula's race. I was too nervous to say hi to him!
Say hi next time!
Best videos in the business!
Thank you!
Congrats on the podium Paula! I Also, I think this is the first video that we get to hear you tell Eric to F-off! lololol slainte and keep it real!
Congrats on the engagement! I was behind on your vids and heard the news on another channel (PTO during the race I think), and wasn't sure if it was fake news, haha...so have been catching up thinking I missed the episode where you broke the news but can't find it...anyhow sounds like it was quite romantic and a perfect spot. Awesome news and very happy for you guys! 🎉♥😁👍
Fantastic video - congrats on the podium Paula! Great music as always. I love the sections at the end with Paula taking the time for photo's
Glad you enjoyed it! The connections are the best part of this whole thing :)
Congrats! I had the great opportunity to volunteer for the men’s and women’s pro races. For the women’s race I was on run support and was in a place where I got to watch the bike as well as the run. It was inspiring to see the pros race. My triathlon journey started in late 2020 while watching TH-cam videos and then I started listening to podcasts while training. I loved your videos but didn’t think your podcasts would be applicable to an old newbie, back of the pact age grouper like me. I initially started listening for the triathlon tips but stayed for the humor and zest for living that is part of the TTL Nation.
It was definitely in a fan boy experience watching you and all the others I have been following race. You didn’t disappoint. Lastly, being from Illinois, I have to apologize for my Wisconsin friends who made you wear a cheesehead on the podium. 🧀😞 The race organizers missed an opportunity with the beer though, they should have used Old Milwaukee beer!
Again congratulations.
Getting on the peloton for an hour after the pto race… you are a machine! Eric thanks for documenting the behind the scenes, we love it!
Hoping you will be racing xterra in Avon next weekend
Loved the recap…. Congratulations on another stellar performance
Great job Paula ... cheering for you all the way.
Allergies…..the 5th discipline of triathlon! Great race Paula!
Triathlon is going to be a pentathlon at that rate :)
Great race Paula! Was so cool seeing you both out there in person and glad you had such a good experience here!
You had an amazing race!! Congrats!
Wow, Paula, nice monolog at the end of the video with the recap of the race. I am proud of you for this. So professional apperiance at the and of the video. Well done. Congratulations on being on a podium !!! You are a strong athlete. Good luck.
I saw the slicks at the PTO Press Conference. They look "sick"! Great job Paula.
Haha they’re my new favorite thing
great race ! solid work
Sooo awesome watching you race in person! I was the dufus at the finish line in VIP that saw the TTL logo on a tshirt and said "hey, nice shirt." Then, the dude turned around...and, er, it was Eric! Waiting for Paula to come in. I moved down a bit because he was obviously working with the camera but that was so cool
Haha I told Paula about you. That was pretty funny :)
@@ThatTriathlonLife You were sooo nice about it and responded in (what I call) a teacher voice that was smooth and encouraging. I was embarrassed but soon forgot as the women came in and we all went ape shit after watching the battle!
Totally awesome race, watched the hole think. Way to go paula.
Great video as usual. Well done on the race coverage, I'm sure was a little challenge with all the people around.
Awesome video as usual 👍
Congratulations on an amazing race 🎉
Always inspiring & amazing 🤩
You are the definition of dream team!
Soooo enjoyed the racing and watching you. I was up by the hill trying to see just how much harder I need to work on that hill to get up it like you guys did lol. I got some great pics of you and the other women. What an awesome day. Congrats on podium finish!!
Congrats on the race! Good music, as always!
Wow late catching this episode, but although EVERY one is a killer sometimes Eric smashes it out of the park, fab edition with Paula's PTO racing, a little late but I have been commenting on lots of Instagram posts including Eric's Scotland snaps. I am so happy after a TTL catch up it fires me up once more for my own Triathlon journey. Paula being quiet well that's her we love her attitude, she rocks and she rocked Scotland too. And just when we not so great athletes get our hands on the cloud boom echo 3, I detect that On have changed them again? So we will now have to wait for those also, unless Paula can blag me some? Lol. Fab video. Music always on point but today more so. Stay safe both see you next week, much love from the UK X
Hey thanks for watching and commenting!
I thought they just recently dropped the 3 a few weeks ago? What Paula has is pre-production and there are less than 10 in existence ;) it’l be a long wait for those
Hi love it when you take the time to reply yes they did, and I have a pair but having worn On shoes for ever since the beginning almost 12 years, they often allow us to have what you the very best have, then they go into the lab and begin to reimagine that shoe all over again, I spotted it on her and Kristian's feet and knew instantly that wasn't the boom echo 3, lol. Thank you so much for replying it really makes my day. Love you guy's thank again for taking the time. Now go and get the world 70.3 Paula. much love from the UK.
Congratulations on a great race and good luck next week!!
8:04 breifing 😂
🤷♂️🤦♂️ can’t get everything right every time
Great video and great result! Awesome as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
SO good !!!
Congratulations Paula! Always love watching your videos. Congratulations on your engagement! 😊
Good balance
We love ur videos
Good music too
Beautiful video.
Amazing!!! ❤
Congrats!!
Congrats Paula, well done. 3rd in the PTO Open is no mean feat. Interesting had Lucy Byram not accelerated the bike your run may have been more eventful, which may not have helped your UCI Prep. Always interesting how race dynamics can change things.
It was great seeing you guys in person racing. Is there anything you like to hear from people cheering for you on the course?
Paula likes splits, more often to people behind her unless she’s gaining on the ones in front 👌
Hey there, would love to hear more of the female pros talk about their cycle and how this effects / manipulates their training and how their coaches work with them in it. As we know through all the research out there and the amazing Dr Stacey Sims the correlation with cycle and performance and training is phenomenal and it’s use as an ergogenic aid 👌
Great race Paula! Eric I really like this edit. True midwest there. 500 Watts on a MTB.? Good luck across the pond!
Nice, glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback 🙏 hoping the motorpacing pays off
Curious, where do you get your music? It really adds to the videos.
A moody Paula is a force of nature 😊
That’s me! @ 20:05
I’m really going to need you to link to your background tracks
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Way to go Paula!!! except the cuss words? And Eric riding a mountain bike with the roadies, hmmm makes me think what I have been doing last 10 years is a good way to build a epic bike rider:) santa cruz is just around the corner, pray you and Paula race:) going run with the pros again:) this time no pro will catch me until after sea cilffs:) keep up the great videos, thanks and have a blessed day:)
Great video again… and pushing 500w behind the girls on a Mtb was for sure not and easy task
Nope, not easy, but good prep for Xterra 🤘
Is that Magene rear radar she uses? Get Wahoo to make one! Amazing video as always. Paula you're a machine!
Yup it’s the Magene, but it works great with the Wahoo 👌 we’ll tell them to add it to the list though ;)
@ThatTriathlonLife thanks for the reply!
🔥
10:35 biking with a camera like that gave me so much anxiety 😅
Transcend it!!! 😂😂😂
18:10 was that Frodeno??
👍
I missed the cheese hats on the race coverage!
Haha I would have thought that’d be front and center, highlight of the show 😂
Need to get the TTL bike gear back in stock.
Hoping to line up a fall special edition kit pre-order
What’s the name of the first song in the first minute of the video
I have horrible luck when transporting my bikes. Glad they arrive safe and sound for you.
Every time they make it we breathe a sigh of relief 😅
👍👍👍👍👍🙏❤
COLLECTIVO*
What did you think of the coffee there?
The "guys are the worst"
