Everything finds a way to work itself out and things are rolling. Paula took down the Skyliner Rd. QOM here in Bend by 5 minutes this week, is running consistently with the help of the Lever, and I'm starting to feel the flow again in training as well. The smoke is still here, but we're logging some super solid garage sessions and getting outdoors as much as we can.
Hey everyone! We're Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay. We're both professional triathletes; we train for and race triathlon for a living. Thanks so much for subscribing and helping us keep triathlon fun.

I think PF comes across as relatable - maybe because her bad moods/days seriously remind me of my own 😝. I love what you guys do, I always look forward to watching. Thanks for letting so many of us tag along ☺️
Erin and the ECFit programming are game changers! Don’t listen to the haters, you are granting us a peak into your lives, if someone doesn’t have anything positive to say, they need to STFU. They only wish they had an ounce of your talent and determination.
It's not that you have an attitude it's because you have high standards for yourself! and if that the case all great athletes do! your a beast don't sweat what people think it really doesn't matter in long run
Eric and Paula could easily put on a show and make everything look perfect… instead they show that not everything is amazing. Also when I see Paula I see a dedicated athlete who can’t do the job she is paid to do at the level she is expected to do(for herself and her sponsors). For all the critics, let me know the next time you can’t do your job because of some outside force and let me know how you handle it.
Keep kicking ass Eric and Paula!
Your not negative just a realistic and sometimes honesty is refreshing
Paula, please ignore the haters. I'm thankful that you and Eric allow us to see a part of your lives. There will always be good and bad days- and you show us that. As a professional athlete, you hold yourselves to a high standard. That is in no way being a prima-donna.
I bet the people just hating on you are simply just super jealous they can't accomplish what you can. Girl, we all have off days and moments and training is HARD! You keep doing you and allow your emotions and feelings out. If you were a bloke, I bet those comments wouldn't have occurred also. Go Paula. Will be watching at the weekend! xx
Loving this style of content as well as previous style of content! Being exposed to different music is awesome for me, the editing rocks and again having an opportunity to go along with you lovely folks to your work, good or bad, healthy or injured, fast or not so fast . . . grateful to you both for that!
If I had a camera in my face at work or in the car or just in bad moments it wouldn’t be pretty! Be kind people as we are in no place to judge!
Same!!
I think the way that you both choose to present yourselves comes across as genuine. Thank you for not merely showing the most pristine or perfect aspects of training - you could easily do that if you so chose. Clearly I’m just one random person spouting an opinion. I’m not nearly capable of doing what you do day in and day out… but I appreciate your willingness to show highs, lows, and in-between. In case you actually see this - I’m glad you’re recovering well Paula and are starting to feel better during workouts!
the comments about your negativity have probably never experienced a lingering injury as a high level athlete. That shit can seriously take a toll. Keep it up, PF. Love your relatability and the honesty/highs and lows are what keeps me coming back to watch each week. If it was all sunshine and rainbows it wouldn't be real!
Beautiful Vlog as every week!!! Eric is an artist... the music, the editing, the images, everything. My 15 minutes of chill time every Sunday are we'll spent here!
Keyboard warriors. Screw them.
Love the content guys keep it coming.
I love the new intro and the truth about having motivation and breaking down mentally when training for triathlon. Thanks for bing real and not fake.
Paula, I've seen you too much to begin to say you are a prima donna. You are dedicated, driven, and like all the pro athletes have "those days". It's not easy but you and Eric manage your lives very well together and I have loved to come along for the ride, so to speak. You and Eric are "real to me" -that's what happens when you care❤️🏡 and get to know the person. Managing all the pressures of sponsors, fans, and internal expectations is tough mentally and physically. I'm so proud of you both!
Great to see you both on it again. As I said a couple of vlogs ago. This sport is brutal, pain and suffering. A lifestyle only the few would venture through. But the good times outway the downtimes, and if you're in the bottom of the well It's nice when you begin to see the light and feel yourself emerging from the depth, with more experience and understanding from being down there. Stay safe both much love from the UK. See you next week!
Paula I really think the people who have made comments about your "bad moods" or being "spoiled" are projecting their jealousy onto you. There is no other reason for them to make those comments. You made a great point by stating these videos are only a snapshot of your lives, so people do not truly know how it is to the both of you. I think you both do a great job at being authentic and genuine. I think you both are not only great role-models for athletes, but also people in general. I work as a mental health therapist and I see so many young women in need of a strong role-model. Paula I think you are that for many women, and I would encourage you to continue being YOU! Thank you for all you both do, and letting us into your lives the way most would not.
It would be cool to make anther What we eat in a day but talk more about what you eat before a swim bike and run and is it diffrent for every sport... Thanks,nice video.
Paula is one of those athletes I will follow because she seems so genuine and honest. It's like when I see anything from Lionel, I click immediately. Anything from Paula, I will like because I know the content will be good no matter what. I can't wait to see her racing the Collins Cup soon! Keep working hard Paula!
Lol I didn't see the comment but how can a pro triathlete be a primadona? Working your ass off day in day out through blood, sweat and tears doesn't seem like a thing promadonas would do. Disregard the comment, don't mind the haters, keep working hard 💪
So great to see Paula talking and smiling!!!
Great to see Paula engaging again with the vlog, and smiling. Glad your foot is on the mend, and good luck with the Collins Cup.
I wonder at those who have labeled you as negative or a primadonna ...have they ever faced an injury lasting more than a day or two?? It's ROUGH...and I appreciate your honest feedback through the struggles. So happy to see you guys on the up-swing again, though, too! Enjoy the journey, keep battling and God bless, ~Meg
I didn’t read through all the comments but anyone talking bad about you two should just be ignored. Paula, I completely relate. I developed a foot injury during a 70.3 and was originally give 6 weeks of therapy and non use to let it heal. I am now close to 3 months and just now able to do easy assisted runs. I felt like you were saying everything I was feeling. Of the three phases, running is what I love the most and to not be able to do it at all was beyond frustrating.
Ugh, I hate that Paula had to even consider the asshattery of some dudes who have no idea what your life is like. I'm definitely a fan of both of y'all -- as are a lot of women athletes. Keep going. Rooting for both of y'all
Thanks for the motivation guys.. and f**k the haters in the comments, they don’t know enough about you to judge your struggles
Very good content and both addressing your issues is very engaging.... but I can't get over Flynn sleeping with the fan on.... too funny
😁
Thanks guys for sharing your life with us. I could totally relate to Paula when she was injured and also to Eric when he was trying to help her. Like my husband is always trying when I am injured. Nobody is perfect but I would have never thought of Paula as a primadona or too negative. Being a pro triathlete is tough! You guys are awesome! Love the vlog!!! Good luck next weekend! Love you both (and Flyn)!
Love Jess the way she is. Not negative or bratty, just real. Who likes a camera in their face all day, especially when training. She handles it well
Paula, we understand that athlete's job isn't easy at all, specially when we go through rough patches. It's part of life. But I really like seen you smiling too! Alohas from Maui. I love Bend, actually I been thinking for two years now to move !
Sucks that some people had negative comments about Paula’s honesty in her struggles. I appreciate your transparency and am so happy you’re in a better physical and mental space now.
We love you Paula. Last week showed us how hard your lifestyle was. Big respect.
Paula, those of us that really know you, know what kind of human you are. And that is all that matters. Keep it up..... you're amazing!
Jeez - I'm sure if any of the people that post negative comments filmed their working week, they might come in for some unfair criticism too... show us what you want to - we will enjoy and learn loads every video. Someone once told me 'never take advice from someone you wouldn't ask for advice... Paula, Eric - don't worry about those comments - as Einstein said 'the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits'...
Cannot believe you didn't give Jess more airtime, she's amazing and so funny!
Small injury keeps me from running currently and this channel really motivates me to bike as cross-training! PS congratulations Paula on the fantastic second place today
Great vid Eric, your captions (swim/run/bike sets/tri-stud Id like Jess Learmonth) are much appreciated, keep them commin. Glad to hear Paula is back training like the old Paula, she will be the only non USA competitor at the Collins Cup I will be rooting for to win. One note for Paula, social media is like a bell shaped curve. There will always be the haters at one end of the curve who derive some perverse pleasure in putting people down. Don't let those sick individuals get to you!
I don't think about PF at all. I think from an outsider she appears to be in a rut and a dark spot. It's being relatable others have mentioned. We have all been there. We appreciate you showing a glimpse into your life as a pro.
I’ve always appreciated the transparency of this Vlog. Change nothing. 👍🏽
Try to ignore the negative comments! We love you guys and are so inspired by you.
Whoaaaa lindsay corbin!!!! Shes been one of my fav triathlete for a long time. Shes so rad.
Good to see you back smiling Paula.
It's nice seeing Paula smile (don't take that the wrong way.) Last video I saw seemed like a struggle and I'm glad things are a bit better for you both.
Nice! The Intro is awesome 🎬
Paula you set high standards/goals for yourself and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Stay strong and don’t worry about the haters. ❤️
Who cares if you are “spoiled”; you be you, but I don’t think it comes across that way. Keep crushing it and recovering!
Don’t listen to keyboard warriors!!! Y’all the best!! Keep showing the real you!! Can’t wait to see y’all race soon!! Good luck!
Great video Eric and Paula. Loving the training and I swim at 5am before work everyday.
Glad you are laughing again P, you are real and I appreciate that!!
The only hope for Team International is to pair Paula against Frodeno! Paula the giant killer! 🤣
Great to see Paula upbeat again - roll on the Collins Cup
Sunday ran at 5:00am! Worked a busy surgical service 12 hours. Watching this video at 8:00pm. Meal prep done. In the pool Monday at 5:15am then back work by 7:00 and I’m old AF!🤣🤣🤣
Young Lady, don’t listen to the negativity keep being you and another great video Eric!
Really enjoying this series thank you Eric and Paula 😁
She’s not a Primadonna…. She’s a Pauladonna!🤗
Seriously, thanks for showing the ups and downs; it makes the Vlog more real. I always enjoy watching.
Wow, genuinely surprised that anyone could watch your vlogs and think of Paula as a spoilt etc! Really don’t see it that way at all. Everyone has bad days and it would be mad to pretend they don’t exist. Kudos to you guys.
Having so many foot related problems myself at the moment, I can say that, the balance board looks like an awesome tool
YES! I spy EC Fit Erin Carson - the best! :) BTW - for those that think she is negative, think again. It's called being real showing both the ups & downs. If this sport was a bubble gum fairytale, everyone would be doing it right? Rock on.
So well shot and edited 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 great vlog guys
Greetings from Lima, Perú! Love all your videos
You guys are dope
Who cares about the haters
Keep killing it
Paula- having a nagging injury that holds you back from what you know you are capable of is very frustrating. All of us deal with it in our own way. I will give you that freedom as well. On the other hand I don’t live with you. Eric does. I’m sure he will let you know when you cross the line. Good luck in the future races.
Keep smiling Paula. ✌️🇨🇦✌️
The honesty is appreciated. The reality of life is not this whitewashed scene we see so often in social media. Fuck the people with their negative comments, keep up the hard work and the honesty. :-)
i dont know what you did but the spoken audio is crisssppppp. also nice editing. also thanks for making my sunday my sunday.
That feeling post morning swim though. Lol the only reason to swim early
Cool song
You had me at "5:45AM ...You're filming this?...."
CO2 levels are important for IAQ when training indoors. Don't be misled by the numbers on the filter unit, it does not measure CO2. FYI. Thanks for the content guys.
Paula don’t apologize for being real! You both continue to motivate me and many others! #TTL
PF. You tell those haters to fk off. Let them spend a decade working this hard for no money and little glory. Stay true. Stay honest.
I love the intro!
Wow, wow, wow, you should have moved to santa Cruz, the run, maybe best in the world!!! And no smoke, maybe take a trip down, and we can see what your time is on the run course,
Thanks for putting the song name up 😊
It will be nice to take certain comments and turn it around to something humorous 👍 good video!
OK FU Eric 😀 that was very funny as a person who has a regular job and two young kids I suggest YOU not coming to our pool at 6:30 in the morning and taking up lanes Love you guys best of luck at the collins cup!!!!!
haha believe me, all it would have taken was a pool with no lane space and I'd be happily getting a coffee until it opens up 😂 I do actually wake up pretty early every day, like 5:45-6, but I can't seem to have a good session unless breakfast has been in for 90 minutes.
All the respect to knocking out the sessions before work 🤙 I'd did that for years as I was making the jump to pro. Brutal.
@@ThatTriathlonLife Thanks Eric again all in good fun. And I so appreciate you guys authenticity. Best of luck!
Ive never seen the past comments about Paula because I watch youtube on my TV. (pulled out the computer for this). I think that the whole "paula is negative" thing is just a side effect of how the videos are edited. Like you said, its just a small snapshot of the week so we can't see everything. The "theme" of the channel, at least lately seems to be about "the struggle" and hard work that it takes to be a pro athlete. Seems like "the good times" get cut out so we only see one side. Eric gets voiceovers so we can get into his mind a little more so it doesn't come across as negative. This isn't a bad thing, training/life is hard and the videos are edited to reflect that. Some people make videos that only show the good side and nothing bad (check out 'buttery Bros' if you want a prime example). Thats what's great about RUclips, there's something for everyone.
5:45 is early… 🥲 my ass wakes up at 4:30 every morning
Great video, production quality! By the way, I don't think Specialized will like the 12:30 mark sticker in the background :-)
Argon 18 is Eric’s sponsor.
@@paula_findlay And they're Canadian!
I always found Paula to be the funny side of the vlog
Love the channel! What are you guys using to hang your bikes like that? Looks like it can fit a lot of bikes and I'm in the market for something similar
It’s a track system by Rubbermaid
@@ThatTriathlonLife Cheers, thank you! And great job to you both in Chatanooga!
Is the crushed ice a setting on the refrigerator? Always entertaining 👊
Loved the music choices! What was the "stay strong" song called?

@@jeffy1818 you're the best!
Thank you guys for doing this! Love your content. Question re: Paula’s bike - did you guys take the water tank off the back? If so, does she prefer the single cage on the back? Thank you again!
I use the water tank for races!! :)
@@paula_findlay thank you! Good luck at the Collins Cup!
How do you like the Shark air filter? Thinking of getting one, the smoke here in Banff/ Canmore has been so bad! Went to the pool at elevation place today and they actually have it closed because the smoke inside is too dangerous!
bad mood? nope. paula is not a prima donna. paula is a focused bad ass that's what Paula is.
Workout montage to Zero by the Pumpkins!
Paula - will you continue to use the lever for easy days when you are back to full health?
Yes!! Definitely.
Would you mind asking for the recipe for this coffee cakes?
Hi Eric. What brand/model do you use to attach your TV’s too ? Thank you.
Why is there still public pool sessions while you have invested in the backyard pool?
you do/are, np...lol own it.
Time for a seatbelt for Flynn... humans wear them because... he will get used to it and you will rest easy.
Why riding with Jess? I enjoy hearing about your relationships with other athletes-why and when workouts match up.
Jess was on a little vacation and came to Bend. We’re more flexible than most when it comes to adapting training a bit for the sake of having company. With 6 rides a week, only 3, maybe 4 have enough structure that it would be hard to ride with someone who doesn’t have the same workout. Even when workouts are too different to mesh, it’s fun to warm up together. Makes it easir to get out the door.
Eric, What front water bottle holder do you have on your Tri Bike?
How do you add good music to your videos? I always just have to use the random songs on epidemic sound
What sports bra are you wearing Paula!?
My wife is wondering the same thing and my google skills are failing me ...
@@wimhendrickx7078 mine failed too, ha! I hope she sees this and answers!!
Please, make the house tour:)
A spoiled brat.. i guess they don't love what they are doing that much, otherwise they would get moody, emotional and frustrated when nothing goes as planned. Geat seeing you smile. 😊
Lol we've all been there .one time or another
Haha own your pre- Madonna…. You could behave like mother Theresa and people would find some fault in your behavior… you be you and don’t apologize for it. No one forces us to watch your guys channel. Keep real and keep kicking ass
Don’t listen to the negative goofballs!
