70.3 NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION - A great week in St. George, Utah
Hey everyone! We're Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay, we're both professional triathletes, and we created That Triathlon Life!
This week's show is about Paula Findlay winning 70.3 North American Championships in St. George, Utah. She had a commanding performance, swimming with the lead pack, making a huge move to establish a 4 minute gap on the bike, and holding onto that lead for the run. We hope you enjoy the show!

The shots pre-race of Paula riding were just gorgeous. Love the colors of the kit with the red landscape in contrast. Congratulations Paula!
This video is sick in so many ways. Eric's haircut is one, but always good to see the three triathlon amigos together. Wonderful behind the scenes glimpses--one of the best TTL videos. Congrates!
That drone shot of Paula blasting up Snow Canyon at 5:35 is epic - have rewatched it a couple of times. Paula was right, buy more drones.
Eric’s best haircut yet, looking good
So, does this begin the era of Paula just dispensing the whole field on the bike and running in solo? I'd buy tickets to all of those shows! 😉 Congratulations, Paula and hoping to see Eric back out there soon!
Unfortunately doesn't work that way at the T100 level, but I kinda want Paula to go for broke in the bike in one of those races and see where that gets her! Only way she would beat Ash, Anne, Lucy...
Taylor Knibb is a watt robot so unfortunately no.
@@adammann6628 Taylor is not at every race and Paula can arguably hold pace with Taylor if she wanted to take a few more risks. Paula's biggest "weakness" is that her history with injury has made her maybe a bit too conservative. She has the speed.
Awesome video. Really enjoyed it. Congrat's Paula on another solid performance and win. Good luck Eric on your next race.
Thank you Paula for sharing your journey. You inspire me and many women wanna-be athletes! 🤗
Love all the kids, but wow they just keep getting better! This goes down as one if my altimeter favorites!!! What an epic recap, Paula! Strategy, thinking, all the stuff of pursuing your passion! Abd the cinematography again epic, music epic. What a joy!!! What a race! St George isn't ever fir tge faint of heart. Epic!!!

This was such a fun race to watch (cheering from Toronto) and this was a great recap. Congrats!
Congrats Paula and TTL team for the Awesome race and Win!
"paced properly to ride effectively" 👍
I so just appreciate the realness of you both and that always comes across in these vlogs.
Putting ‘peace be still’ in the background of Paula explaining the race… perfection. Same song you put into the first video I ever saw from you guys 🤝
These are the type of videos that I love to see!!
What a beautiful video ❤ Congrats Paula for the win and thank you for always being yourself - I find it so helpful how you’re always honest about how you feel - inspirations and valuable lessons for triathlon and life!
THANK GOD YOU FINALLY HAVE A BRO HAIRSTYLE - SO COOL!! Saw Paula at the swim start and hope she send you my kindest wishes for all what you guys do. Amazing race knew you win, no doubt. I had an ok race beating my last years time which was good.
Loved it all!
Man I love Utah!

Great video. Music was top notch as always. You ever listen to or think of using anything from The Ballroom Thieves? They have a TTL vibe.
Congratulations!!
You always top the last video! Great video!
Great video and race recap!
Like the haircut Eric!
So much awesome ❤ TTL is on fire!
What a winning team! Loving TTL
That was an incredible race with a stacked field. Congrats on the win and bring the noise! Cheers
OH WOW, just been for a morning run session, came in for some food, and hot mug of tea, and saw this video had dropped, I am now so super happy, with a huge grin on my face. Love TTL and the vibe it creates, even us no hope now way too old age groupers feel part of. the TTL family. Awesome edit and music edit as always. Paula on point again with another epic win, can't wait for you to come to London so I can watch you race live, as opposed to my TV. Stay safe both much love from the UK, David x x PS Paula's On T shirt spotted, possibly another On exclusive for their super pro athletes, which was may get someday in the future. Just like those super new awesome carbon race shoes. see you both next week, David x AND One final PS why on earth are Ironman trying to interview pro athletes in transition whilst they are damned racing? If that was our own Mark Cavendish I know what his response would have been, with all the bleeps included. stay safe.
Eric in his bag with those pre-race bike shots
this was fun
cinematic on crack......thankyou Eric.
Except the sport content - which is awesome (by the way - I have started to watch this channel after I have seen this short movie about Paula's carrier, issues and than comeback) - cinematics, editing - perfect 10. I am no Tri Athlete myself - but watching this journey - it's great, it's honest, no b-shit. Thank You !
Congratulations Paula you looked very strong!
Congratulations, Paula on this perfectly executed race. Congratulations, Eric! Awesome video, as usual. Paula, you mentioned in your post race interview that Mt. Tremblant may be a race you would consider as a Canadian and since you never did it. It would be so amazing for us Canadians to get to see you! Any hope you might consider it?
Thanks!

Great video! Congrats on the W Paula! Eric, whats the name of the song at the beginning of the video?
W ❤
Where can I go to watch these races live? Its been frustrating that i can not find these races
Are you all going to put the Triathlon hats up on your website for sale?! They are awesome
Soon!
What kind of sunglasses are you wearing Eric?
Smith!
Find someone who looks at you like Paula looks at Eric after his new haircut
Is "sick" a good hotel room or bad one? Oh I get it, it's "incredible".
Have you ever thought of having 2 KZhead channels? One for Eric and one for Paula? I would highly support that! 😀
Wow she is moody...
