Robin Barth

Lead Coach

Robin has been passionate about triathlons since 2014 when she competed in her first. She soon found herself helping friends get into their first start lines and coaching them to their next finish lines. In 2022, the Dream to 6 program helped her overcome imposter syndrome - and her coaching business took off.

Since then she has coached over 150 athletes. She is a full-time coach and a stay-at-home mom to her four children. She started a local club in 2022 called Rise Up Racing with 25 members. In 2025 she reached 120+ members. She expanded her business and brought on five assistant coaches, started a youth division, and continues to run successful camps and clinics. She is now a race director and is working towards bringing new athletes to the sport in her local area. 

Robin specializes in strategic planning for growth in the Dream Programs. She helps coaches to expand and develop sustaining programming and successful camps & clinics. She also is very passionate about growing a sustaining community. 

Ash Daniels

Lead Coach

Ash Daniels understands what it’s like to feel confident on the surface, yet lack the structure and depth needed to truly progress. After struggling through his first ultra, he realized that good intentions and hard work aren’t enough—effective coaching requires clarity, structure, and a deep understanding of the demands of the sport.

With the support of coaching, Ash went on to achieve a five-hour personal best. That experience didn’t just transform his performance—it shaped his approach to coaching and, now, to mentoring other coaches.

Ash works with coaches at all stages of their journey, from those just starting out to experienced practitioners looking to refine their approach. Drawing from his experience coaching athletes from first-time runners to 100-mile finishers, he helps coaches develop the skills, confidence, and frameworks needed to support a wide range of clients.

His philosophy is built around the individual. For Ash, great coaching goes beyond writing training plans—it’s about understanding the person in front of you, balancing performance goals with real-life demands, and creating sustainable, purposeful progression.

Through his mentoring, Ash supports coaches in building structure, improving decision-making, and delivering more impactful, athlete-centered coaching.

Whether you're developing your coaching foundations or looking to elevate your practice, Ash brings both lived experience and practical insight to help you grow.

Lana Burl

Lead Coach

Lana’s first triathlon in 2010 was inspired by college friends that insisted she’d love it. She did. Lana has since completed hundreds of triathlons, duathlons, SwimRun, aqua bikes, relays, single sport events and represented Team USA twice at the ITU World Championships. She’s enjoyed multiple brand ambassador and competitive team roles, as well as local triathlon club leadership and masters swim program direction.

Her love of learning sparked coaching her first athlete in 2016, now helping hundreds of athletes at all levels achieve amazing goals and dreams, including first open water swims and first distances, podiums, personal bests, national and world championship qualifications. She leverages metabolic testing and swim instruction to help busy professionals level up to the next distance or podium.

Lana’s a nerd. Her engineering and nutrition education led to professional technical roles in manufacturing and power generation projects and leadership. She currently operates LB Endurance Lab, a retail facility in Knoxville TN complete with performance testing services and an endless pool that anchors her Team LBE. Plus, she directs two open water swim races in Tennessee.

Skye Johnson

Lead Coach

Coach Skye is the founder and head coach of Tri With Skye, based in Jacksonville, Florida.
She is a full-time triathlon and run coach who has guided hundreds of athletes across finish lines ranging from first-time sprint triathlons to Ironman races and Kona qualification.

As both an entrepreneur and a mother of three, Skye understands firsthand the challenge of balancing ambitious goals with real life. She specializes in working with experienced coaches, especially those who want to grow their clubs or balance business with a busy family life.
