"high fived so hard I lost track of my pace relative to the course record" is the most true to Eric problem I've ever heard. Congrats on the win and thanks for taking us along!
The algo led me to stumble upon your channel years ago because it presumably believed all the trail footage I was watching would be a great crossover to what became That Triathlon Life. Watching this, which is already - in your first attempt - easily one of the most fluent Ultra stories told to date on UA-cam, has me feeling like it’s all come full circle with That Trail Life! Excited to see what’s ahead, and personally, while there will be lots of calls for UTMB, WS, etc., I think you do an immaculate job sharing the essence of ultras just like this one. Such a natural and genuine fit. Chance to seamlessly bring a competitive tinge to ultras without upsetting the “vibe” that Paula observed so perfectly on the pod telling the story about the bus ride in and the food after. Congrats on what was totally more than a run! Loved it.
I haven't seen you so happy in a long time like this! Nice work, man. Western 100 and UTMB are maybe on the horizon. Keep up the good work! Congratulations, that was impressive.
Thank you for sharing this incredible footage of the race course! It was very comforting to know you felt the same pain as a normie also running her first 50k. Congrats on the win and course record - impressive stuff!!!
Hi, TTL just caught up with this latest Vlog here in the UK, snow and cold. Great video as they always are, fab work Eric another string to your bow. as all triathletes know, the base training for what we do on a daily basis does allow us to wonder off in some different directions, swimming events, biking events, and running events, the base we carry daily allows us to explore all these different adventure's. its great to see you smashing these trail run races. The off season here now, its cod wet or snowy dark but the adventure we are all on continues. The TTL lifestyle just keeps us all focused and reaching as high as we can. Much love from the UK, David x
Loved this! Massive congratulations! Inspiring! I really liked the music you chose to go with this one! So happy for you and your accomplishment! Way to go Team!
Forget the physical effort, the mental gymnastics you need to push, pace, feed and hydrate all alone for that much distance is crazy and amazing. Thanks for the footage and the breakdown! ❤
Beautiful footage! Congrats to Eric and Nick! On the podcast you mentioned it was a technically heavy course? What did you mean? Also amazing to see how different the trail is there vs trails here in oz!
Races & videos like this remind me how boring it is living and running in the suburbs of Chicago. I'm so jealous of anyone that can experience these types of trails on a daily basis.
Isn't it funny how some of the most fun and exciting moments of life are found by doing things that humans did for thousands of years before technology. That was my first thought of the video.
Hmmm, lol well will say this, at least it does not require life time to learn, like down hill mountain biking, and you did leave me in the dust at santa cruz:) however,,,this stuff, really is make for younger ones, I always like analogies, helps me trade, train, and maybe make the correct decision,,,but let's say we are cars, or motorcycle, or even a bike, or shoes, you pick the item, now we have rode, ran , played with this item are whole life, and what ever age you are, that's how old it is, so if you are a car, would it be wise to start putting tons of miles on it, or anything for this matter, I believe this will really cause the item to age fast:) or even worst break down, lol so becareful,,,like mountain biking, think this will break you too, fliming!!! It's your gift, and you can run fast while doing it, and make money:)
TTL now has two meanings. That Triathlon Life. And now That Trail Life!

A freaking movie!!! And it is a banger. What an effort, awesome

Awesomeness, man
So rad!
so freaking cool!
Time to rock the moustache-mullet combo
😂 that’d be a major 2017 throwback
Welldone 🎉
I've been rocking the ttl for years as an imposter hoping one day you'd come to the dark art of ultra trail. Tul merch coming soon? I'm in. 😂
TTL Trail Division? Exploratory squad? There will definitely be something…
@ThatTriathlonLife TTL Trail Division would be cool. Looking forward to seeing it take off like TTL did. Thanks for the great content as usual. 😎
Would love to see you at Chuckanut or Black Canyon
Gravel racing!
I love it when pro triathletes come and play with us normal people… 😅
TTRL - just gotta add that extra R.
The answer to what’s next is obviously Black Canyon 100K
Jimmy Chin is the Eric Lagerstrom of climbing.
DM us for a free anything you want on the site. Comment of the year 😂
What's next? CanadaMan! I'd volunteer to crew you (done it twice and know the course well).
You need a new long sleeve to get AG1 off your ass Eric!! hahah. Amazing record, Paula and you are so inspiring for any athlete
I have a couple that DON’T have that and I honestly grabbed the wrong one the morning of the race 🤦♂️
@ just make sure you say you got that course record with no help from AG1!! All natural baby 😂
quality
Cracking video, even better running - team TTL
👍👍👍
Western States in plans?
