Triathlon Coaching Built for Real Life
Founder + Head Coach • Triathlon • Run • Multisport
I’m Erin Byrge, a certified triathlon and multisport coach, founder of 3 Goals Multisport Coaching, and an accomplished age-group triathlete and aquabike athlete. I help beginner triathletes, busy adults, women 40+, and returning athletes train smarter, stay consistent, and feel proud of what they are doing.
Big goals belong in busy lives.
I coach athletes who are ready to get started, stay consistent, and feel proud of what they’re doing—whether that’s your first triathlon, your first aquabike, or a new goal you’ve been thinking about for a while.
Many of the athletes I coach are beginners, women 40+, busy adults, or athletes returning after time away. The common thread is a desire to do something meaningful, build confidence, and see what’s possible.
- Beginner triathletes
- Women 40+
- Busy adults
- Returning athletes
- Aquabike athletes
- Goal-driven multisport athletes
A plan that fits your goals—and your actual life.
Personalized, data-driven training
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training. Your plan is built using advanced, data-driven training based on your fitness, your schedule, and your goals—so you’re always doing the right work at the right time.
From there, I guide you with real coaching support to help you stay consistent, adjust when life happens, and keep moving forward. It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters—and having the support to stick with it.
The 3 Goals approach
I believe training should build confidence—not take it away. Too often, athletes feel like they’ve failed if everything doesn’t go perfectly.
That’s why I use the 3 Goals approach—Rockstar, Super Happy, and Happy Goals—so you always have something to be proud of and a reason to keep moving forward. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, doing the work that matters, and discovering what you’re capable of.
Turn “I can’t” into “I did.”
My passion is helping athletes set meaningful goals and feel proud of every step along the way. I’ve worked with beginners taking on their first sprint triathlon and athletes chasing full Ironman finish lines.
With more than 12 years of racing experience, I know the ups, downs, and challenges of multisport. Whether you’re overcoming open-water fears, balancing training with a busy schedule, or rebuilding confidence, I’m here to guide you toward training smarter, racing with confidence, and enjoying the journey.
