"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!
A million high fives! Your natural amazing habitat- grit and contemplation, tactical strategy and sheer beauty! Well done. Congrats to Paula too on a spicy field and crazy cycling regs! Strong finish both of you!
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.
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 RUclips, 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.
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
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! ❤
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!!!
Loved watching this and following your journey from this and all you do! TTL and all it encompasses is such a positive energy! Thank you for sharing your story and your Highs and Lows with the kids! 💪💜
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!
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.
"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!
TTL now has two meanings. That Triathlon Life. And now That Trail Life!
Forget the course record - the videographers, whoever did all those amazing shots, are the real legends!
For sure one of your best videos yet, great story, great imagery, great soundtrack. Chapeau 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
This.

This is so true!
That was by far your most entertaining/ inspiring video. Wonderful. After 35 years of triathlon, I love trail running.
Congrats! I’m so happy for you, thanks for taking us along with you.

So I guess the only question now is...do you do a " Full Heather Jackson" ...or a "Half Heather" ??
Outstanding effort Eric! Awesome video, makes me want to run

Flynn just couldn't care less seeing you again after 4 hours 😂❤
Congratulations 👏

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. 😎
👊Just fantastic...congrats Eric! And amazing vid Wattie and crew! How'd HJ do?!? God bless--what a journey! ~Megan 🙏
Awesomeness, man
So rad!
Gravel racing!
such a good freaking video!
so freaking cool!
Welldone 🎉
Congrats!! BTW what model of Salamon shoes are you weraring?
Would love to see you at Chuckanut or Black Canyon
Beautiful question which trail shoes where you wearing
I love it when pro triathletes come and play with us normal people… 😅
Cracking video, even better running - team TTL
Time to rock the moustache-mullet combo
😂 that’d be a major 2017 throwback
TTRL - just gotta add that extra R.
That ‘Trail’ Life begins …
Jimmy Chin is the Eric Lagerstrom of climbing.
DM us for a free anything you want on the site. Comment of the year 😂
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 😂
The answer to what’s next is obviously Black Canyon 100K
What's next? CanadaMan! I'd volunteer to crew you (done it twice and know the course well).
👍👍👍
