Age: 32

Profession:  I’m an Architect who is currently a stay at home mom who loves to swim, bike and run….
soon to be the Community Outreach Operations Manager for the JM Honda Powerhouse of Miami (our family owned store to open by end of this year). 

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?  I chose FCC because of their long term coaching philosophy and team integrity, in my opinion these are so unique to the Triathlon community! From the get-go Erinne teaches you the process takes time in order for the athlete to grow as a triathlete. The entire FCC team wants to see you develop and progress, reassuring you this is a continuous learning experience. Working towards your own personal goals in a group environment that constantly challenges you but supports you is a great bonus too. Just when you think you’ve got the “formula,” Erinne and the entire team have more info, insight and knowledge to share and take you one milestone further. With FCC every step of the way there is more learning guaranteed!

Please share your BIG goals:  My “A” race this season is Augusta 70.3 on 09/25/2016 (my first 1/2 Ironman) and full Ironman one day!

My successes so far: I went from Sprint distance to International in my introductory season and to the podium in my very first longer distance triathlon at MiamiMan.  I managed to overcome a physical setback by applying all the strength, stretching and conditioning recommended by FCC.  I have become leaner and stronger and  faster by learning more about nutrition and how to fuel my body right.

My swimming has improved dramatically and to prove it here are my results from one year to the next participating in SwimMiami: In 2015 – 1 mile @ 34:11 – 4th AG  / In 2016 – 1 mile @ 27:25 – 1st AG
Podiums:
Huntington’sDiseaseTriathlon – Sprint Distance – 2nd Place AG
MiamiManTriathlon – International Distance – 4th Place AG
St. LouisFestival – 5K Run – 1st Place AG

And most importantly PR’s every time 🙂

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? The role model I’ve become to my children. To be able to share with my kids this disciplined, rewarding and healthy lifestyle is priceless. Leading by example is always motivating and encouraging them to try their hardest. Having kids who are active in sports and compete constantly, triathlons have allowed me to become one of them 😊

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?  “You’ve got nothing to loose, but so much to gain” and of course “You don’t know until you TRI” 😊

I am very grateful for this recognition, it gives me fuel and encouragement for what’s to come 😊
Thank you! I really appreciate it!!!  This month marks my one year anniversary with FCC 😉

Congratulations on being chosen a Full Circle ROCKSTAR Triathlete!

Age: 34

Profession: Chief Creative Junkie (Graphic Designer) at 5 Cents T-shirt Design

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?

A friend told me Erinne and her team at FCC do a great job at developing the skills required to do an Ironman, which is what I started training for.

What is your “A” race for this season?

Ironman 70.3 Kona Hawaii (goal to finish with my dad), and Ironman 70.3 Cartagena (goal to beat my PR).

Please share your BIG goals:

Sportwise: Qualify to IM World Championship in Kona (I’m giving myself a good 10-15 years for that to happen), and lot’s of little big goals in between 🙂

Tell me about your successes so far:

In simple words, I work hard every single day at being better than who I was yesterday. That’s the key. Mind conditioning is probably the most important factor in this whole “bettering myself” journey I started 10 years ago. It started with my personal life, struggling to be the best dad I could to my daughters at a young age, then to running a successful business with the same principles, and now from a semi-healthy to healthier and fitter life style which has introduced me to a new set of goals that keeps me hungry. If you don’t believe you can do it, you wont. Getting in the right mind set is key… Not to mention the amazing group of people I’ve met through this triathlete journey that offer their support and knowledge, it makes it priceless. (you don’t have to put the whole thing) I’m just writing freely and unedited lol.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

-Being patience is key.

-Having discipline.

-and Knowledge. Understanding why, and how things work, specially with your body. Gotta stay injury free to progress 🙂

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

Winning. You can beat the better you. Also the excitement started when my dad registered for an Ironman, and I decided to do it with him. So I hope to spend more time with him doing this fun sport.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?

Just tri. Having FCC next to you in all workout sessions makes it easier to progress and fix any bad habits on the spot. It’s one of the reasons I decided to join.
