Athletes
Meet the Team

Jillian
Triathlete
I am a swimmer turned triathlete! I started this journey to complete a 70.3 bucket list event, but has now turned into my lifestyle. Erin has built a community where I strive to work hard obtaining my new found goals of competing in both half and full ironman distance racing.

Adam
Triathlete
Over the last two years I went from doing my first sprint triathlon, to completing my first 70.3 Ironman, and now I am training for my first full Ironman. I have loved developing my community within this sport. It’s the people that keep making the long rides, the painful runs, and those cold open water swims worth doing!

Gaelen
Triathlete
Hi there, I’m Gaelen! I’m a PhD student at OHSU, where I do my best to juggle my microbiology studies with my triathlon training. When not swimming, biking, running, or recovering, I also try to get out to the crag for some rock climbing (why stop at three sports?).

Christine (``Craystine``)
Duathlete
I am a duathlete who loves climbing hills on the bike, and doing anything EPIC. I believe in training hard and recovering harder! But keep plenty of food around, because I get hangry real quick!

Rajiv
Triathlete
My name is Rajiv Harry, and I became an Ironman at 34. Fitness and exercise serve as my passion, my medicine, and a positive outlet to connect with others around the world. In my spare time, I am a husband, father, and Health and Wellness Coach in the Portland area. I strive to be an inspiration and facilitator of good health and Plant-Based living.

Ian
Triathlete
I will beat you during cool down, but don’t worry I’m not competitive.

Lindy
Ultra Runner
I’m a runner who enjoys most other sports and am always up for a challenge. I reside in Grass Valley, CA with my husband, Bees, and four-legged partner in crime, Hayduke. My philosophy in life is, work hard, sleep hard, and eat good food.

Nic
Triathlete
Always up for a challenge (or bet), triathlons started as one and quickly became a way of life. While a middle of the back of the packer, I am grateful for the ability to race and enjoy the Soles team.

Tracy
Marathoner
I am a two-time Ironman and a Boston Marathon qualifier. Running is my passion, my escape, and my go-to sport for staying fit!

Nicole
Triathlete
I’m a former collegiate volleyball player who needed another sport to channel my over-competitiveness into after I graduated. I love being part of the Soles Inspired community! Erin & the Soles team have helped me to a 45 minute PR in the half-ironman distance and to my first marathon finish!

Michael
Triathlete
I am a 55 year old wannna be triathlete, making the transition from bike racer to triathlete 6 years ago. The friends and acquaintances I have made since that switch has been amazing. The racing has been just as awesome. I wouldn’t be where I am if not for Soles Inspired!

Karen
Triathlete
I was hooked on triathlon a few years ago and have competed in several Olympic distance local Oregon races, with a goal to complete at 70.3 for my 50th bday and then…who knows! Training with and getting to know other athletes on the journey has been transformative not only in my enjoyment of the sport but in bringing me so much joy, making my life feel rich and full.

Kelly
Triathlete
Moving here from Minnesota 5 years ago, I’ve discovered a lifestyle I never knew before. Being a part of the Soles ‘family’ gives me the support, encouragement and inspiration to exceed all my expectations. I am extremely grateful to be part of this team.

David
Triathlete
Started triathlon in 1984 and finished Ironman Kona 1985. Participated in more than 60 multisport events. Enjoy training but love to race.

Gaby
Triathlete
I have been running to manage stress and stay active since 1998. At first I started with 5km races, then moved to 10km and half-marathons. In 2008 my friends challenged me to do a triathlon, it was then that I reconnected with swimming (my first love) and I remembered the freedom I felt as a 10-yr old when biking.

Kristy
Triathlete
My Name is Kristy I am a mother of two. I work full time as an Amy officer, training soon to be officers at University of Portland and Portland State University ROTC. I got into triathlons 5 years ago as a competition between coworkers and fell in love. I joined the Soles tribe last year and have really found my community.

Zoe
Ultrarunner
I am a lover of climbing mountains and exploring new places. I am a runner, cyclist and avid paddle boarder. Striving to share my passion for movement and health with all I meet!

Mad Dog
Triathlete
Hi! I’m Madeleine, though I’m known to most in my life as Mad Dog. I love exploring on bike and by foot, and am excited to be training for my first full distance Iron(wo)man. When I’m not exercising, I work in clean energy, cook too much food, and teach my coworkers fitness classes.

Andrea
Triathlete
Hi, my name is Andrea. I’ve been “in training” off and on since 1999 and I’m still here enjoying every minute I get to move my body. The Soles team is a group of diverse athletes that bring so much joy to training and cheering each other on like no other- pinky swear. Training is one of my favorite things and doing it with other teammates is the absolute best.

Betty
Triathlete
I have dabbled in triathlon but mostly I love cycling and exploring new places on my bike. I also love the community of the Soles Inspired team.

Jen
Triathlete/Duathlete
I love running and after doing the Duathlon for a few years I got into Triathlon. I joined team Soles a few months before my first Half Ironman and the coaching and support I got was beyond phenomenal.

Shelly
Triathlete
I credit Erin with teaching me to love running. I truly have no idea how that happened – but that’s the beauty of multisport – one day you’re wondering why you’re doing all this stuff and then next you can’t imagine your life without it.
