We live in Bend. Have found that if you look under the part of the Apple Weather for Bend that says the air quality - there is some small print that says “More data from Breezometer”. If you click on that you get a map of the Bend area that shows where the air is good and where the air is bad. It seems to be VERY LOCALIZED. So if it’s bad where we live - we can often drive 30 minutes to where it is fine. Like sisters - or over by the lakes on the other side of Mt. Bachelor. Pretty Cool!
Big fan of all your videos, including the ones that show mostly the in-between parts of life. Latte art looked great today, Eric. Can’t wait to watch you both race this coming weekend! Safe and happy travels!
When you love Eric and Paula so much that your just happy to have a video to watch Sunday and you give the video a thumbs up in the first 30 seconds of the video
A dedicated triathlete on this side of the pond, same morning ritual. Up early, err having a dog helps with that! Coffee machine on and fresh ground coffee in one of my That Triathlon Life coffee cups. Then sit thinking about the training to come that morning. Before the evening swim teaching at the pool. a very cool vibe this week, love the bike riding edits, always a Sunday afternoon treat. Stay safe, much love from this side of the pond in the UK. See you next week!!
Not sure if this will work with your schedule but you are invited for an amazing gravel road ride here in Walla Walla Wa. Aprox. 5 hour drive, September 12th, a 95 mile ride would make a great training day for you both 😁
A super dumb question. I see that unless Paula has biking or running shoes on she lives in those Birkenstocks. Does she lwear the original leather ones? Or, is she using the synthetic ones you mentioned before about being great for the to and from the pool. Whatever she uses, she seems to love! Great videos and good luck to both of you the rest of the season. .
What kind of rest times do you guys do between reps or sets on your swims? I'm curious. Been reading swim training books lately and the rest times between reps and sets they recommend is absolutely bonkers (way too short) compared to running and biking. I cannot fathom how 5 or 10 seconds rest between hard 50's, 100's and 200's is remotely doable. In running and biking, pretty much every exercise physiology book says you need between 1 to 3 times longer than the exercise rep itself (depending on rep intensity snd distance)... so that should be like a minute rest between 100 efforts. No idea where all these swim coaches come up with 5 or 10 second rest intervals.
5 or 10 seconds is very very normal for rests in swimming. I’ve been a competetive swimmer for over 12 years and it’s a blessing if I get more than 20 seconds rest during hard 50’s.
Hi! I was a college swimmer and I’m now a club coach. 5-15 seconds between each 50/100 is normal. Short rest during the set, then you get longer rest in between sets. This is how you build endurance.
Thanks for the replies. I guess if most of your training is relatively short to medium distance reps, then ultra short rests between reps makes sense for building endurance. Though, I've also kind of wondered why swimmers don't often do reps over 400 to 500 metres or yards, and just build endurance by just swimming 1500 to 2 miles continuously more often. However, I guess the logistics of multiple athletes all doing 30 to 70 laps in the pool continuously is not feasible. That, and dedicated swimmers (as opposed to many triathletes) only do 1500 as their longest event, so perhaps building endurance through fast pace with short rests is more efficient than building endurance through the long and slow method which is more popular in running and biking.
Happy to say it, mountain biking is like the best bike riding possible, happy you have found this happiness, now keep working on the happiness, as I heard like Gods name in vain, sure you crashed, but had nothing to do with him, as I even think I posted you had a crash coming your way, happens to all mountain bike riders, and gravel bike riders, so be careful paula,,,nice pour on the coffee, and will say, I will give some extra credit, to tri atheltes, as I am finding it super tough to bike, and run, I mean i am good at both, but when one gets super good like running did, running the santa Cruz course, man it feels like kona, even has a farm we run by, next to the ocean, but legs really started to flow, the other just falls apart, hopefully with some prayers to God, he will show me the way:)
damn, im getting sad i couldnt organize my trip to samorin... had the slot and enrolment to race championship on sunday... :( would have seen bunch of cool tri dudes and lasses that have cool youtubes and all :D
@@jamesbishop7774 Yes, we have two massive fires (Dixie and Caldora) here in Northern California. There are also fires in British Columbia. I'm not sure if that BC smoke is getting down to Bend.
Eric you are a tremendous athlete who balances both the sport and UA-cam so well! Love following your guys journey. Peace and blessings

I think I like the vids of Flynn's workouts as much (or more!) as yours! 😂 Such a good boy! 🐶
Excited about the hats. Safe travels for Collins Cup and Challenge Championships!
Good luck to both of you at Collins Cup.!
Zoot tampers looks really cool!

Have a great Collins Cup Paula!!!!!..... and enjoy the clean air!
Good tamping form on those espresso shots! :)
Love the Mtn biking clips! Good Luck at the Collins Cup!
Entertaining video Eric with some great off road footage. Off road biking ROCKS-no pun intended. Success to both of you in your upcomong races!
Good luck to both of you
The trail hats are finally back!?!?! When are they going live?
The vlogs are resurging in quality the past few weeks, Mr eric is back!!
These are so well produced. Great work!
Cheering for the two of you!

You are the best champion!!!
😱🤜💥🤛

I’ve seen her both in the leather Arizona model and EVA Arizona model. They’re the freakin’ best shoes ever.
That 4runner is amazing
Thank's for your amazing videos! Really motivational for a young triathlete ;-)
New S-Works Epic for Eric randomly sitting against the living room wall or is that Paula's? Hopefully Xterra World's goes off this year.
Ed Sheeran doing Triathlon now? Good man
Love the off road training
Are you shipping yet to the UK?

A lots of dead trees in that forest, what's going on there?
Paula on gravel
damn, im getting sad i couldnt organize my trip to samorin... had the slot and enrolment to race championship on sunday... :( would have seen bunch of cool tri dudes and lasses that have cool youtubes and all :D
Why are you up early at the public pool… don’t you like and train in your master swim spa? I don’t see that in your videos after the initial trial…?
oh no i know the feeling of eating it.. and then the sound of your garmin stopping, that just adds insult to injury
9,00 the hair looks like Nick Nolte's mug shot.
Beat of luck in Europe
Unfortunately, this is looking like it will be the new normal for Bend and greater Oregon in general going forward.
Where is the smoke coming from ?
Fires 🔥 😂
@@mikehammersley3489 I was implying if there are any nearby fires that they should be worried about
Large fires in Northern California most likely blowing smoke up there
@@jamesbishop7774 Yes, we have two massive fires (Dixie and Caldora) here in Northern California. There are also fires in British Columbia. I'm not sure if that BC smoke is getting down to Bend.
