Hey, I'm Coach Eric and I work with athletes (especially off-road Xterra triathletes) who struggle to find the time to coach themselves. I help them reduce stress, have FUN, and give them the tools to get exactly what they want, getting to that finish line as fast as possible.
I've been racing triathlons since 2006 and competed in the Ironman World Championships in Kona, 70.3 World Championships, and the 2018 Xterra Off-Road Triathlon World Championships in Maui. I also have a marathon personal best of 2:36.
And when I'm not swimming, biking or running I can be found hanging out with my 15 year old rescue dog Guinness or traveling with my wife (Greece, Thailand, and Banff) are just a few of our favorite places!
If you want to know something a little crazy about me - I ran 20 miles on a track while I was in Spain because I didn't want to get lost.

Should I workout or train when I'm sick

It can be difficult to decide if you should workout (swim, bike, run, got to the gym, strength train with weights, etc). This can be a tough decision and you definitely dont necessarily need a day off just because you have a headache and runny nose.

one piece or two piece tri kit
Переглядів 3834 роки тому
Two piece benefits 2. More comfortable - because you can get a better fit (e.g. large top, small bottom). 2. Less restrictive 3. Could be cooler 4. Bathroom breaks are way easier One piece benefits 1. Faster in the water and on the bike 2. No waist band that could feel tight on your stomach 3. No sunburn on low back 4. Less chafing - less seams, but never a problem

Can I miss a workout? - What to Do When Life Happens While Triathlon Training
So helpful!
On trails where there is exposure, a steep drop-off that could endanger a hiker who has physical limitations or is a child, keep them on the uphill side of the trail. When going uphill, when the drop-ff is on your right, keep children on your left side until you are past the dangerous slope. Young kids may not have the balance, coordination and awareness to safely hike along the edge of a steep slope. The Pacific Northwest (PNW) has many trails along steep slopes and cliffs and a slip over the edge can be fatal. It happens every year in OR or WA.
Thanks for the tips brother! Very helpful. Racing it for the first time this coming December 👊🏻
Thank you so much for this video! I have my first IM 70.3 in a few day and i'm kind of freaking out because the forecast sais cold and rainy. Hope your tips will help 🤞
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks bro!
You didn't show the actual inflation... I think that is what a lot of people have questions about.
I heard bib shorts give less saddle sores than bike shorts? Is that true, and is that the case with 1 piece tri suits?
I think it depends on the quality of the short/suit and how they fit you specifically...in all cases I am using plenty of lube to prevent saddle sores :)
@ewjtri3984 which lube do you use. I have body glide . But haven't tried anymore else
Thank you for this! I impulse signed up for Indian Wells this December, ie I only have a little over a month left. It'll only be my second triathlon. First one was 70.3 Oregon in July so it'll be quite the contrast. LoL
how’d you do?
What if our race doesn’t allow us to jump in the water before the race start? How can we avoid the cold shock at the beginning?
As a competitive ultra runner, why am I just hearing about this now? Lol As per usual, you tri folks are years ahead of the game, for good and for bad. I have not completed a tri but I also imagine that trying to wear the race belt under a wet suit could potentially cause one to rip their racing bib when taking off the wet suit.
These tips could've really helped me before the swim for the Oceanside Ironman 70.3 this year, which was COLD!
It’s been a year and 5 months since I got injured and I’ve had a constant headaches and migraines ever since. It’s getting extremely depressing, I miss feeling normal
@technodatunerit’s interesting.. you rarely get updates from these people which I think is maybe a good sign
Just started training total newbie.... didn't anticipate how expensive this was going to be. Contemplating actually how vital a smart tri watch actually. Thanks for video
Numerous running races, but my first triathlon coming up. Actually had to look into how wear on the bike portion. Thanks for covering it all very thoroughly.
Great video haha, I've just been getting back into Off-road triathlons this year, looking forward to improving on the benchmarks set. Cheers!
Concussion is a brain injury. They can cause metabolic issues in other parts of body and immune system issues. One need to take this into account. Concussion clinic won't treaty concussion because I have symptoms of concussion. When headache and blurry vision are gone then they will treat me. Thank God vestibular ocular excercise is part of my regular regime for forty years. Still doing the but having horrible difficulty after two months. I don't watch tv don't have computer or internet and don't play on my phone.
😆😆. This video is overall funny as hell, guy is hilarious, I myself have only done road TT, but I would not mind doing an Xterra TT, I always like a challenge, I will have my own opinion after doing one, after all, we are all in it for the fun, unless you are pro and are in for the money. Although to do one of this ones, I will definitely have to train in that type environment to get use to all those annoying 🤣pointers.
Sir can I go to gym with Concussion? Lifting a lightweight equipment.
Great vid. Random question: who's the artist who painted the painting behind you? thanks!
Thanks a lot. Simple matter so there isn’t much info out there. But for a newbie like me this video is veeeerryy informative.
I am suffering from headaches after concussion from 6 years
Try fasting or black seed capsules
This video was made on Opposite Day.
Thank you! I’m doing this one in October!
Awesome! I'll be there cheering...have a great race!
I am feeling all the Ted Lasso scene of Nate saying: oh coach is saying the opposite.
Hey I like the video I have a concussion currently my eyes are sensitive and my ears also and my head just feels irritated like senitive the sensitive feeling has gotten less intense over my time of my recovery so far I currently have had a concussion for over two months in two weeks I have got it from boxing during the spring session I got hit in the back of the head pretty hard I didn’t get knocked out it was just a hard head and then later I got diagnosed with a concussion
What about now you recovered
Thanks for sharing. I am looking for off-road run/bike clothes that are NOT tight-fitting i.e. a trail running short with some padding for the MTB. Would you know of brands that offer such products?
Looking at doing this in 2022, thanks for the info
You're welcome. It's a great race! Good luck!
Nice video man. Considering iceman 2022 - think the bike course is gravel-bike friendly or would you recommend a nice short travel XC bike?
Appreciate the comment. Yes, gravel-bike friendly with straight bars. There is 0% single track. That being said most (including myself dont have a gravel) use a XC bike and works fine. Good luck next month!
Never done a triathlon b4. Was thinking about doing just the swim and bike option but i've never biked on the side of the road really. Makes me nervous. How bad was the traffic and i'm assuming i'll need a mountain bike, yes? Thanks a lot 4 making the video
The traffic wasn't too bad...it's a two lane road. I never felt like I was getting run off the road, but be careful as it doesnt have a coned off lane like some triathlons have. I believe there is a swim and bike road and offroad option. You definitely need a mountain bike (or gravel bike with straight bars) for the offroad version. It's a hilly course so be prepared for that.
@@ewjtri3984 Cool. I registerred today. I'll be doing the individual road triathlon. Maybe I should do the mountain bike one though eh? Wonder if it's too late to switch. U gonna be participating?
@@specie44 both races are good. totally up to you...if you have a mountain bike i'd do the xterra off road and road bike do the road race...also the offroad race has some trail running and the road race is all running on the roads. I've done the offroad race the last 2 years but not this year since i''l be attending a triathlon camp with moxie multisport. Good luck!
@@ewjtri3984 thank u
Thanks for all the good advice I’m training for my first race in 2022 and this helps thanks
you're welcome RIck! I am excited you're doing your first one in 2022! Which one? Let us know how it goes!
Hi Coach. Would these provide any advantage in a race by themselves, or conversely any downside to using them in a race? I'm thinking Full Wetsuit > Roka Sim II Pro shorts > tri shorts. Any difference in the transition maybe, although I can't believe these would be more difficult to get off than a wetsuit. Thx.
Hey Patrick! They definitely make you swim faster because they make your hips float higher in the water. You can pull them off them off super fast. A full wetsuit would be even faster, but If you dont want to use a wetsuit with sleeves, I recommend a sleeveless wetsuit since you get most of the benefit without the arm restriction. In general, I would make the decision based on how cold the water is
What the hell. This was the worst video
Yes, if by worst you mean best?🤔
I have sent you two emails and have not gotten a response yet. I am trying to get your training plan. I am trying my first off road sprint tri at 53 years old. I have lost 100 lbs over the past two years and am hoping to start doing some more outdoor activities. If possible, can you please check your email and send me the training plan? I really enjoyed your video. I look forward to seeing more.
Great work, keep it up! Check your email...training plan and race day checklist sent!
Hello coach ejw - checking in to see how the shorts have lasted on the 'test of time'? Still going strong?
Yes, still going strong…I use them about 3x per month
We’re swimming against the current aren’t we… of course they wouldn’t want to make it too easy
This channel is soooooo underrated !!!! So many tips and good advices in all of the videos of your channel ! Please keep it up 😎
haha! I completely agree lol Appreciate the comment...do you go with 1 piece or two...?
Thank you for sharing.
you're welcome! Hope it helps your next race!
🤣🤣🤣 all of these reasons are exactly why off road triathlons are so fun and a lot more entertaining than monotonous long road ones
I know, right? :)
This video should be linked to all MTB Tri registration pages. I just finished my 5th Xterra MTB and you're right about everything! One thing you forgot is how ANNOYINGLY NICE "competitors" are! This is a RACE! When I was new to the sport the more experienced "competitors" were happy to help including previewing the tougher parts of the run and ride the weekend before the event. Very CONFUSING! What was their REAL AGENDA?
I completely agree! Excited you are addicted to off road tri's! Now you can pass on your knowledge with no agenda cuz the sport is awesome! Appreciate the comment! see you on the trails!
Great video man
Glad you enjoyed!
thanks ! this was valuable
You're welcome! Glad to hear it!
Awesome video,.. I’m new to Triathlon this year and knocked out Lory and Beaver Creek so far. Headed to Indian Peaks in the morning,.. These are totally accurate insights and the Xterra crew has been a blast so far. Have fun out there !!!
Welcome aboard! You are all over Xterra's in CO...love it! Appreciate your comment!
Would you recommend a wet suit for this? Swimming is my strongest event, and I’m shooting for about 35 minutes. But I really don’t know if I’ll be to cold or if it’s more because Tempe town lake isn’t the cleanest.
I would recommend a wetsuit. Your strength will be even stronger and It's usually wetsuit legal, but not super cold if you dont wear one. Consider a sleeveless wetsuit as a middle ground. See you at the race!
What MM do you recommend for the wet suit ?
5mm at the thickest point near your hips to help with body position and 2-3mm in the arms
@@ewjtri3984 thanks sir
Don’t listen to this negative manipulator, he is only basing on his own story, life is about challenges!!! If you have never run on a trail or dirt, do it, if you have never used a mountain bike, do it… is about giving your self the opportunity to experience new things, this guys should be banned from you tube 🙏🏻
#reversepsychology :)
Try holistic options. Turmeric tea, fish oil, acupuncture, eating healthy, icing affected area , blue berries and reiki
Also exercise like walking when you are able
Awesome
Thank you. I had a mind concussion and a black eye this Friday. Very strange injury.
you're welcom. hope you're feeling better.
@@ewjtri3984 thank you. Yes. Almost fully recovered. Just some dizziness still.
How much days it will take
@@jaykumaraa8043 it took me 3-5 months to be fully recovered. The dizziness lasted long and part of cranium was still soft. I wear a cap tight to keep it on the right position to seal in. At the hospital, they didn't gave me much attention as it was almost very near to deathful but not still. Something like that. Argentina is very dangerous and I own property here and it's very common that real state agencies murder owners to buy your property cheap. Maradona for example, it's very possible he was murdered by the real state agency who manages his properties and believe it or not: they find it super normal in Argentina to conduct real state businesses like that. The first attempt of murder I suffered was by intoxication of covid with abandonment and them subnutrition at the hospital. All on purpose as I own property here. It took me 2 years in loco to understand how real state business work here. It's fxxxxx dangerous!
@@AugustinTomasOBrienCaceres can you please tell mi which type of treatment do you taken for it how was injury occurred
Nicely broken down. I am recovering at the moment. I have mile concussion and have dizziness....it's so debilitating not being about to do very much. good to see there is some very good advice like there out there...
Glad it was helpful. Have you seen a specialist? Feeling better I hope.
@@ewjtri3984 I went to a doc, had some physio and seeing a chiropractor. It seems I had whiplash...feeling better now but not fully back with my sport yet...building things back up cheers
