Might be your best video yet, Eric, even without Paula and just a cameo from Flynn. Maybe because I’m a native Oregonian, maybe because I did USTS Bud Light Hagg Lake Triathlon back in the mid-80s, definitely because you’ve got your stoke back for the rest of the season!
Dude...... This channel is so freaking genuine, creatively polished but still super original and real. Every episode is goosebump material!! Thanks for the dedication Eric, you are most certainly a pro at two professions simultaneously, hats off
"But also, kind of awesome"... haha, best line! Congrats on that win Eric!
Everything in this video is just pure pleasure! Great job Eric!
Music/talk volume is not in balance.
Couldn't agree more, Milos.
Turned out great! The story, the music, and the journey made for an amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
Love the longer videos. Congrats Eric!
Congratulations Eric! Great race and another solid video!
Loved that you had an amazing time! Congrats on your race and for experiencing the joy! Totally the best finish line ever!
Such a beautiful video - the views and the heartfelt emotions! Congratulations on the win Eric.
Best one yet and I've been playing catch up by binge watching hours of TTL!
This was great. Excellent result and the whole film was just uplifting. Awesome seeing you on the mtb 🤟🏻
good job Eric......Love to see you having fun
Great job on the win, Eric! Also great video. Those trails look great!
Awesome race, story, and video. Thank you.
Eric, I loved and connected with this video and the vibe on so many levels. I'm sure it was only uploaded at the last minute because you wanted to make it perfect, mission accomplished! Congrats on the victory, although aside form the "business" goal getting achieved, it feels like the win was less important to you then your other goals and the reconnecting, recharging, etc. We all need alone/me time every so often and it only strengthens our relationships. Looking forward to the Collins Cup next weekend, go Paula!
Congrats for the win!!! Muchas felicidades, glad you reconnected and ready for world champs!!! My family and I are fans of you and Paula, love your videos and love to see you doing what you love. Good luck in world champs and good luck to Paula in Samorin!!!
Cozy Sunday morning episode. Congrats Eric and you did great filming!
Congrats Eric! All these videos makes me miss Bend and other parts of Oregon, I always love that place ...I moved to Maui, 25 years ago and still miss that place! Cheers! I love to watch the driving around Oregon!
Great video Eric, congratulations on the win (and the opportunity to find some reconnection with your youth). Sometimes a bit of solitude and self reflection can do wonders!
Great Video, Eric. As always, you make it about so much more than just racing.
Wow. One of my favorite videos of all time. I was very touched by the journey home. I have done the Hagg Lake course (off road) and am so happy you like it, too. I thought it was wonderful. I am planning on doing XTerra Portland there next year!
Another inspirational video!
Keep up the good work 👊🏼
Amazing video - loved the scenery, the mood and the awesome ridin
Pretty cool video Eric. Loved watching the mtb. Glad you got what you were looking for
Awesome. Glad you found the stoke again! I've just ordered my first mtb and his has got my pumped to ride it! Every single race should have a slip n slide at the finish! That looked epic!
CONGRATULATIONS Eric - Well earned & deserved (after a couple of bad breaks this year). Another amazing Video / Editing Production - incredible scenery. Wonderful full circle back story, Your Emotions came right thru & that's wonderful. Sounds like a trip back to Your Roots was Perfect. Agree 100% on excessive heat (and cold) events - risks vs reward calculation no longer makes sense. Wishing You continued Success Training & Racing - Stay Safe too😊
Definitely felt the happy vibes on this one. Greta video as always! Congratulations on the win!
Great job Eric! Love seeing you excited….
This was epic. Truly showing the best of offroad triathlon. Loved chest rig coupled with pulsing tracks. More of the camp set up would be sweet if you're saying it was at the start. Thanks for a great vid.
Great video and congrats on the win. Good luck to Paula at Collins Cup!
One of your best.... your heart was smiling!
Great video. Love the connections and wow, what a beautiful part of the world.
Damn Eric! Well done on this video. I really liked it! One of the best yet!
Congratulations on your win. Brings back memories. I love Hagg Lake!!! Best short distance triathlon and excellent open water swims!!!
Awesome at your craft! Triathlon and video artistry!!
Love the pronunciation of Gaston! 🙂 That is such a cool area and a throwback to small town vibes. Well done Eric
Great job Eric!!! Lovely vid as well.
congrats on the win! hoping all the best for Paula on Collins Cup.
nice content.
Congrats on the win and awesome content as usual.
Another great video!! 22 minutes of pure fun and pleasure, and of course congrats for the win :)
🙌
Great video and road-race movie. Thanks for all the great content👍
Great video!! I agree the race was awesome and should be much bigger! I loved the venue and the people! Btw that is me you’re passing in your pre ride:). I won the women’s race for the day!! It was so fun to be the first gal on the slippy slide but I didn’t slide far at all!
Congratulations Eric you killed it. You deserve it the hard work paid off and the filming was great. Dad was there supporting so cool
Thanks Don, that means a lot.
Congrats Eric. Awesome race and great video. Makes me miss the NW and the good old days at Athletes Lounge. Stoked to see you still living the dream. Take care buddy
Really awesome that your Dad was with you! Great video, as usual.
I loved this video. The views were amazing. Makes me want a mountain bike vs try bike. LOL. It was nice to see the love for the sport. Such an amazing community
Congrats on your WIN Eric, geat to see you have a good one! Enjoyed your story and the footage, that really is a beautiful location. Some of that off road terrain looked pretty challenging, but I guess elites are use to that type of stuff. I know for a fact that off road riding builds strength and skills for "roadies" (me). Thanks again for your quality videos every Sunday!
A great story. Well done, Eric!
As always; top shelf videos! That finish line alone is world class! Thanks for sharing!!
The finish line slip and slide is a major vibe 🤙
This video was amazing--great filming. I struggle to just get a few photos on strava! Thanks for the lift.
Thanks! Glad you were feeling it!
Watched this one whilst running on the treadmill, inspirational. First class Eric. I commented a while ago that Paula and yourself seem to both perform at your peak when you have a single focus on your own events. It’s a strange outcome but one that is worth keeping in mind. But hey I’m just a hack amateur, you do you and keep kicking ass!
Epic video and The music, nailed it! Congrats for the win also 👍
Congrats on the win. Portland looks beautiful!
This was good vibes, great video Eric
Fabulous video, makes me want to visit Oregon. Congratulations on the win and having a great race. Thanks for sharing and all the time you spend preparing your videos. Excellent job!!!
Thanks for watching and definitely come
Visit sometime!
Trails were so narrow, incredible focus! Congrats!
great riding from the looks of it. congratulations!
Always a pleasure and such an inspiration to Watch your videos. You show us alô that it’s not just about win or loose, it’s about the journey and having fun with it!!
Thanks so much for saying that. I really hoped that came through in the show 🙏
You are putting out the needed stoke and energy in the world 🤘
Really inspiring video. Can’t believe you did all of the filming and won the race.
It's was awesome buddy!! You make such inspiring content, and when it be from the heart like this one, it's special bro ❤️💪💪👍👍
Fantastic music selection as always :)
Great job on the video Eric!
Congrats! The slide is a genius idea!
I've said it before but it needs to be said again...."Best Production on CZcams" Thanks for letting us tag along on you and Paula's journey!
Hooray for you, Eric!!! And a huge congratulations on your spot in Italy!!!! 🥰
Thanks so much!!
Love the in cockpit filming. I wish there were more Xterra in the North East!
Nice win!
Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats Erik!
A very respectful comment for the algorithm! Congrats and a great alternative to racing the Collins Cup.
Hello Eric, awesone image and super result. Take care
So nice that you and Paula get to have your parents in your lives. My parents were older (47 & 50) when I was born and they and all my grandparents are long dead.
It's good from time to time to reconnect with those people and places that have shaped your path.
Just watched the end of the video, nice race,,,and I think why you felt so go, is you had full control of your pace,,,its very important, if someone is infront of you, you continue to run your race, like I dont even look at anything but the ground when I run, its a endless treadmill, but I did see some plank work,,,you know how I feel about that,,,,see you soon:)
Congrats! And awesome video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. I really appreciate how you went back to where it all started for you. Fantastic editing and just all round wicked vibe. Xterra Portland is on the list! Imagine world champs there? Thanks for sharing your time.
nice! Glad you liked it! I don't know if it's big enough for world champs, but I think they cold hold nationals and it'd be sweet
Way to go Eric! Xterra vids are always a good idea, specially in that place (nice views). See you in Xterra worlds, hope you travel with some TTL goodies to sale!
Awesome job sir
congratulations. Well deserved
Stunning Eric!!
This was wonderful to watch, thanks
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Another stunningly shot video even though you were on your own, Eric lol. You really need someone of Britain's biggest rock bands on your music edit. Muse, who has a new album out in around 3 weeks, Fab mountain biking footage, and another win, you two are on fire at the minute. By the way, did I catch you munching on Precision Fuel and Hydration gel another great British hydration triathlon-related company, anyway another Sunday is complete My training is done, and my weekly catch-up with all things That Triathlon Life video is in the bag, stay safe see you both next week, much love from the UK?
What a great video....the best one yet. :)
Thanks for your thoughts on Xterra Portland... I'm registering next year. Cheers!
Awesome! Hopefully I'll see you there!
Come do the Timberman70.3 in New Hampshire! It's September in New England, definitely shouldn't be to hot
Eric, your a legend. I’ve got nothing else to say. So happy for you. - from the guy who jumped into your strides with permission at St. Anthony tri this year. My first 70.3 in less than a month away. Hopefully there’s some context that you remember. Either way. Keep doing it. Your rad!!!
Haha hey man!! Good luck at your race, I’m glad you said hey that day. Pre-race good vibes 🤙
Wow.....just...wow.
Beauty and style all over!
Congratulations on the “W”!!!
Well done Eric!!!
Made me miss riding trails in the PNW!
Congrats on the win Eric!
Thanks!!
Congrats on the win! But I’m gonna miss you at PTO US / Texas, Dangit. Gonna be hot, but that’s part of the challenge.
Also going to order the hat you had on last video, will order it tonight, after my 2 runs today,,,I do believe they will be great runs, thanks to your pick of races!!! Santa Cruz 70.3!!! I am like so happy, so happy, thanks again, and lets be friends, that would make me even happier, lol
Superb mtb's skill 👍
Amazing as always. When is the hat release I need that in my life 🤙
Awesome!
Hope to see you in Italy ! :)
Fantastic video and the sound quality from you mic when riding was very good.
Good to hear! I was super impressed with the gopro on this one
Congrats, Eric! Beautiful scenery.
How do you pass people on narrow trails like that (other than be in first, so passing isn't an issue!)?
Awesome to see footage of Boring and Sandy!!! 👍👍
Sad to miss you on the Cazadero
