70.3 WORLD CHAMPS - 7th Place! My best race in years

- 7th Place at Ironman 70.3 World Championships in St George, Utah!! This is one of the biggest results of my career, and it came on the heels of a very challenging season, where I really haven't been performing at the level I believe I'm capable of. I really doubled down on my training the last few months, adopting a new strength routine, prioritizing workouts over everything else, and just generally doing a lot of the little annoying things that can fall by the wayside as life gets busy.
Thanks so much to all of my sponsors and everyone who was a part of this. Most especially Paula for supporting me the last few weeks as she's been injured. Thank YOU for watching and being part of the journey.

Everybody needs a cheering Paula in their life. Got me choked up.
that smile on Paula’s face when she realized how well Eric was doing says it all
"LET'S GO ERIC!!! Freaking amazing!!" 13:18 to 14 minutes was fantastic, gave me chills
I got tears in my eyes just seeing how excited and "pure"-happy Paula was. I love it! Made my day, so once again thank you for each weeks highlight
Great video as always guys, congratulations on a great race Eric.
Reece and Lucy
Thanks guys, same to you! So so so impressed, Lucy. That was incredible
It’s funny this is an Eric centered video but I have never seen Paula so happy in a video haha.
Maybe thats why, haha 🤣...
Well done Eric, fucking amazing man. Seeing Paula cheering and the excitement and the emotion brought a tear to my eyes I gotta admit. Thanks for sharing these moments with us!
Really I got exactly the same feeling! Seeing Paula so stoked and excited - simply love it!
This and Lucy finally got the championship. There are so many stories to tell in this sport.
Yewwwwwww Get it
Just shows you that no matter how many set backs, frustrating races, and feelings of being left behind while others succeed, you can always work your way out of it and have an even better payoff. HAVE A DAY ERIC!
Congrats Eric! Huge fan and long overdue! You've put in the work.
Stellar racing Eric! Paula thanks for the cheers out there!
Thanks Sam! So impressed with you powering to the front 💪 epic
Been watching the channel for a while and have seen Eric go through many race disappointments. Great to see him receive some well-deserved success! Great to see you all looking so relaxed and crazy happy. Perhaps a permanent move to St. George and leave the smoke of Bend, OR behind?💨
LagerSTORM. Just saying. .... Loved the upbeat vibe, super empowering. The drone scene while swimming was sublime.
What an EPIC experience and well deserved💪 Y'all have an amazing dynamic and I smiled through the whole video.
I was Super Excited to see Eric do well at 70.3 Worlds Championships. Hope you were over the moon with his performance Paula. hope you can maintain this fitness Eric, it was great to see you perform well.
Massive fan Eric and soooo impressed! What a stunning performance, and truly well deserved. Lastly, so lovely to have someone else behind the camera in this instance for the chance to see the heart Paula has for you. You guys are solid!
Dude!!! STOKED FOR YOU. From all your watchers. You deserved this result so much!!!! Congratulations
Congrats!! You did awesome! I was volunteering that day. I’m one of the guy in green shirt in 14:18. Paula was so happy and cheering so hard when you came in.
Hey Eric, just another guy on the internet here, but it was so fucking satisfying as a long time watcher of the channel
seeing you put together a race you can be proud of. You truly deserved this day. The future is bright for you both. Massive congrats!
Eric this is an amazing result...........congratulations from Europe.
I love to see youre video's. You are a talented man..........Hollywood is watching you.
Congrats Eric !!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks team!!
Happiest i have ever seen Paula! More videos about Eric would be awesome . Eric is so open and un entitled.
Great Job Eric. That 7th doesn't reflect how close it was. Taking away Gustav who was on fire. About 4 minutes separated 2 thru 9 so great battles right to the end. Long time follower and so happy for you. Sad to say that you easing off the filming for channel helped you focus on your goal (sad for us as viewers but more than happy for you). I would like to wish you an Irish good luck "go n-éirí an bóthar leat" (translation:- “May the road [i.e. the journey] be successful for you”) But as the saying goes " the more I train the luckier I get", So go get lucky both of you. I will be following. Keep it up
P.S. Was it the "X-men" costume that did it????
Happy for both of you! Eric was primed for a great race and Paula deserved a day off.
Really enjoy sharing the ups and downs. This is a big up. And so fun to be brought along for the ride.
Legit made time for this video. Took a 20 min break, got myself some tea and said let watch our mate send this!
Love how excited Paula was for you, congrats man! Long overdue performance.
Congrats Eric ! Love Paula and her support on the course, so much energy :D
I like the Eric focused episode!!
Congratulations! So stoked for you and what an awesome Support Crew!
Congratz Eric ! Awsome race !
Loved watching Paula get so excited for Eric's performance. Great job Eric!!
Great ambassadors of what makes triathlon special
20 min of pure happiness and ...man...for Eric so well deserved!!!!what a 3h:44 flight!
This is your best video by far, possibly the best triathlon video on UA-cam !!!
Haha well it certainly is the most emotionally charged one for us in a while! Thanks so much 🙏 glad you were feeling it
@@ThatTriathlonLife super happy for you guys, keep up the great work ! You’re a big inspiration to us all !
Freakin awesome finish Eric! Seeing you come across the line like you did was inspirational as hell. 🦾🦾 The finishers were all so close together in the pro field that the announcer couldn’t even keep up. These are the kinds races that the fans love.
Beautiful result, Eric. Love celebrating with you and Paula. This vlog is an inspiration to me.
Best video yet! Loved your race, Eric. Congrats!!! Loved Paula's enthusiasm and genuine excitement as she was cheering everyone on. Loved the extra film crew footage. Just loved the vibe of this one. The only BIG thing missing was the filming of Eric's haircut. I thought for sure you were going full mullet, Eric. LFG TTL!
CONGRATULATIONS Eric !!! So Happy to see You HAPPY & Satisfied with Your World's Performance & Results - I watched the race & was cheering for You all the way. Paula - sorry that Your Injury / Recovery did not cooperate & allow You to race.
Eric - glad to hear that the adjustments that You have been making are paying off. Hopefully, You can take all the Lessons Learned & "Formula" Changes before & during St. George Worlds to achieve even more Goals in the Future. Safe Travels, Safe Training and Best Wishes to You Both.
What an awesome video to capture an awesome race! With the UA-cam channel you guys make it feel like we where the ones getting the 7th place! Cheering from Spain
so happy it finally all came together for you, very well deserved!
Paula's support was amazing!
Congrats Eric - Awesome performance.
Paula is such a great fan :D
Super fun to see you at transition from bike to run and then at the finish line! Eric, I"m so proud of you! No words can describe seeing the work you have been doing pay off with the 7th place!! And I made the video, haha "lady in the big hat" and now I have a #thattriathlonlife hat & shirt, which I love! It was a blast talking to so many of the people in line who had been watching your videos and now got a chance to see you "for real" , pet Flynn, and buy the cool gear. It worked out so well! The story continues to grow!
Wow, I want Paula cheering for me. What a team!!
It was great to see Eric have a good race in a competitive field. Even though Paula has been injured you can tell the mood of both of you is alot lighter. You both seem to be more relaxed.
Eric & Paula, thanks so much for the mid week special edition - much appreciated! Savor your 7th in Worlds Eric, our hearts go out to you. You are a role model of dedication & perseverance for all of us age groupers! Also to Puala, you will be back, you have too much raw talent not to come back!

Great race Eric. The way you did not shy away from the great race you were having and responded by getting after it reflects your competitive spirit. But equal to what you did and we saw, was getting to see Paula’s investment in supporting you. You could see and feel her excitement in your success. #cool Great video, really enjoy following you guys.

Congrats on the awesome results Eric! Awesome video too, great vibe and story telling.
Eric, it's been fun watching your growth as an amazing filmmaker through the weekly videos (you have a wonderful touch with them), but seeing you have a great two races (also Xterra US Champs) is a special treat. It's also great fun to see Paula in super race supporter mode. I'm also fortunate to have a fantastic supporter at races and it's difficult to describe how much more meaningful it is knowing someone is there pulling hard for you. Thanks to both of you for keeping it real and giving us a window into your world.
So happy for you!
I so liked paula cheering eric up being so excited! Awww💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️ congratulations eric!
Congrat Eric on your performance. Love from Thailand!
So stoked for you both…. Great to see you guys so happy
Big congrats to you Eric 💪
Thanks! Much appreciated :)
Awesome result Eric! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is a really great video! Been looking forward to it all week!!!
Big congrats on the finish at World Champs! Love your content and seeing the success of TTL. Flynn's a good boy, stay healthy y'all!!
Thanks! We'll do our best!
Congratulations Eric! Great result and you deserve it. I watched the race live and have been supporting you (I mean shouting in front of my screen) throughout the race. So happy for you, keep working hard, better things to come. Love your TTL channel
Awesome Eric. I was on the bike going up Red Hills Pkwy when you were on the first lap of the run and I yelled “go Eric” as loud as I could. So cool to see you back, healthy, and loving the sport again.
So happy for you Eric. Outstanding work. I am also very happy that you did not once mention the rain that hit you on lap two. Many of the other pros mentioned it like it was hard. As one who was on the bike (24 miles) when the storm hit I think you know you got away with an “easy” day.
Stayed up until 3am to watch you cross the line. Stoked for you to finally have that race that clicks, and what a race to do it in. So f**** excited for you after watching your channel for ages I feel the excitement!
So good to see Eric all you hardworking and determination pay of what an epic race result , and when it counted 🥳 , Paula is not only Queen Pro racer but Queen supporter too she most definitely gave every last drop of energy supporting ! Super stocked for you both 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I have watched your channel for a while and enjoy the content. It is my first time commenting, . Your videos were getting better and better but I guess/know that comes at a cost (time), so was pleased when you decided to back off on the production value for a bit and concentrate on your race prep. Top 10 at the World's is a great result. Congrats to the team, well done.
Hello Paula I'm your subscriber you and erik hope both you guys have race here in Philippines so excited to watch you here.
Loved the video and got choked up with the finish line hug!!! 🥰 Fingers crossed I’ll see you in Indian Wells 🤞🏻
Thrilling to see Eric do so well. Strong all day, with all of the hard work paying off.
I mean come on. How can you not just love Eric? Amazing job my friend.
Well deserved and a huge congratulatiosn to you both. My Colombian athlete friends spread out the pictures they took with you @ St George, and shared how exiting was to be close to such a big athletes. love U both.
Congratulations Eric amazing race 🎉
We all need a cheerleader like Paula on race day 🤩
Thanks for sharing your journey with us always inspiring 🙌
Awesome man, well done! 💪
Yeah. Great video. Great memories. Loved the pop up.
Awesome! Congrats to Eric! And it was so fun to see Paula that excited!
Epic epic vid! It was so cool seeing the pop up shop, spectating logistics as well as the race. Great job
Total beast. 7th out of the best in the biz is incredible. We knew you had it in you and I hope this is only the start of some great things. Im guessing all that S&C played a big part. Thanks for all the content.
Congratulations Eric
Congrats!
Yeah booy! About time! After witnessing all the stress and pressure you must endure this was well overdue! Congrats!
You finally woke up!!! Great performance hope to see you maintain this type of intensity.
