    Oh man, that drop into Paula's tempo got me so amped (12:00). The music, the mountain background, the workout buildup, her strength and speed as she heads out-all so cool!

    The stuff you guys think is boring is actually quite fascinating to many of us. Love all the beautiful shots but the bear spray discussion was very interesting for someone from Texas.

    Hey Eric, the drone footage/music @ 7:30 followed by the run/swim/mountain goat footage was super entertaining, much thanks! Awesome skills in putting these vids together.!!

    @toddkearney6464 2 года назад +2

    That brings back good memories of Canmore! Thanks for sharing. The video production is high quality. I enjoyed the song selections. The drone shots were cool. I wouldn't want to run past the mountain goats, either!

    One of my first triathlons had the swim in Two Jack Lake and the bike course was the Minnewanka Loop. This brings back all the memories! Also LOL'd at the bike clothing layers difference between Paula and her sister.

We'd be happy to use our imagination, we know how dope your training looks! Keep up the good work! Thanks for taking us along!

    On your shopify, you should be able to edit the theme to add a favicon. A favicon is the little icon that browsers show in the tab next to the page title. Not super important, but would help make the site look a tiny bit more polished and professional. Overall been loving the videos. Great work guys

    • @ThatTriathlonLife

      I feel like we had this at one point.. maybe a Shopify update got rid of it.. thanks for the tip!

    Paula, what do you think of the wahoo watch vs the Garmin Fenix?

    • @ThatTriathlonLife
      @ThatTriathlonLife  Год назад

      The wahoo is SO much easier to set up and I've never had to reset it, get it warrantied, etc. I would say GPS reliability/accuracy is about the same. The garmins do have more widget features and stuff, but if you just want a running watch, I find that is all extra
