      I just wanted to add more once I finished watching the video. I know it sounds weird, but I truly could’ve watched two hours of you’re just talking about things like that the most riveting video perhaps I’ve ever seen on triathlon and I have other pro triathletes that I’m huge fans of.
      Thank you again must’ve been frustrating on the bike for sure but thank you so much for the content Paula. I am definitely now a fan for life.

    Eric, it's absolutely ridiculous to me that I can feel your love for Paula through these videos! And sick shots of sick views! I have so much admiration for you both! Looking forward to what next year has for you both! I will be doing my biggest bike challenges yet - a century ride & an MS150!

    Paula cracks me up with the "I hate this" comments followed by the crazy high performances. Makes you realize not 100% of the time do athletes truly 'love' what they do. Sometimes it's just a necessary evil. And yet they still rock it.

    Paula's thoughts in this video can be incredibly relatable for any athlete of any level. Pack dynamics can be really frustrating, and digging deep mentally for a run on your own shows true strength and courage. Her authenticity in these videos/ recaps and ability to continue competing even when the going gets tough is truly inspiring.

    I do hate missing these mid week updates, makes it look like I am not here lol. But I always am, great footage from Taupo. really enjoyed your racing again this year Paula, time for a break and those epic slow motion TTL Ski vlogs. As for next year I do hope you race T100, especially Ibiza, it would be a lifetime dream to finally watch you race live. My triathlon journey of coming up 33 years never missing a season would be complete. Have a well deserved break. Hope to see you out there next season, this old then 63 year old age grouper will still be toeing the line. Much love from the UK, David x Paula Findley, absolute triathlon Royalty.

    Great consistent season Paula. I know that if you pursued the Ironman Pro Series you would do extremely well. I don't think it would be wise to do both the Ironman Pro Series and the T100. I don't think your training has to change too much to do the Ironman distance. The only thing is that after an Ironman you'll need much more time to recuperate. Good luck to you in 2025, whatever series you decide to race I'll be watching and rooting for you.

    • @paula_findlay
      @paula_findlay Місяць тому +1

      I think riding with a messy “pack” is slower in a lot of ways vs riding solo in the front. Obviously she’s amazing, though.

    @larrylem3582 Місяць тому

    I'd like to hear all of the pros say, "I like the Ironman Pro series but I wish they'd increase the minimum bike follow distance to 20 meters." Maybe that would get them to change it. The only person I've heard say that is Joe Skipper.

    • @ThatTriathlonLife
      @ThatTriathlonLife  Місяць тому +3

      I think 90% of the pros have given that feedback to Ironman officials directly. At least that was my impression, speaking with Jimmy Ricatello post-race

    The range raider almost makes things worse.
    Imho it will eventually go to a two day format with a standard bike TT on Saturday and swim/run on Sunday.
