About

Hi, I’m Erin Byrge, a passionate triathlete and certified coach with over 12 years of experience in triathlon and multisport. I specialize in working with athletes of all levels, especially those new to the sport or looking to make meaningful progress. From sprint distances to Ironman races, I’ve been in your shoes and understand the challenges and triumphs that come with this incredible journey. My goal is to help athletes discover their potential, build confidence, and cross the finish line with pride.

Philosophy

My coaching philosophy centers on three key principles: trust the process, understand the purpose of your workouts, and set meaningful goals. I believe in celebrating every step of the journey, whether it’s a small training milestone or a race-day triumph. Through personalized coaching and smart, data-driven training, I aim to reduce the fear of failure and help my athletes focus on progress, not perfection. Together, we’ll work toward achieving your goals while fostering a love for the sport and a healthy, balanced approach to training
