Coach Erinne’s Notes:
I am so excited about the outcome of this season. Daniel and I have been working together for 2 years to get to Age Group Nationals injury free and qualify for Worlds. Already a strong, fast athlete always on the podium, with no formal coaching he has so much more speed to gain. After suffering a stress fracture last year and a few months of no running we were able to get his bike up to speed with the fast guys. This year we really dialed in the run. From his last 10k off the bike with a 6:15 minute/mile average at his B race to a 5:55 min mile average at Nationals, I’d say we accomplished what we set out to do, especially off of a 25 MPH bike average. Congratulations Daniel, way to Dream Big! Now for top 5 at Worlds!  Let’s do this!!!! –  Coach Erinne Guthrie

Daniel Kaminstein

Age: 40
Profession: Emergency Medicine Physician

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I was looking for a coach who would help me with more than just fitness goals. I met Erinne at the Ride on Ryan Tri in Savannah and I liked her approach and attitude that FCC advocated.

What is your “A” race for this season? Just finished!- Age Group Nationals 2018, 10th place Age Group 40-44 and Qualified for World Championships in 2019 in Switzerland!

Please share your BIG goals: Being a great father to my four children. Becoming a more well rounded triathlete. Becoming competitive on the international level.

Tell me about your successes so far: My kids love coming to watch me race and three of them have now competed in kids triathlons. Tenth overall at age group nationals. First place overall among age group athletes at the NJ state championships. On the podium for all my races this season.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following?
Swim: My technique has improved dramatically over the past two years as a Full Circle athlete. With lot’s of video analysis and hands on form correction at Ultimate Tri Camp. Now, each race I focus on racing the swim rather then just using it as a warm-up for the bike.
Bike: Using power to make major gains in speed. I’m now cycling with the top guys in my age group.
Run: Stronger faster run off the bike. Being able to hold a fast run consistently off the bike is definitely my strongest asset now.
Nutrition/Health: Less carbs and more protein left me feeling much better during training and racing. The nutritional and sleep changes I’ve made have been equally as important as training improvements.

Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved: First time at age group nationals and I made the podium.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: Power Meter. High intensity training sets. Better nutrition

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? Getting to inspire my four boys to be active.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
You can be a competitive triathlete without coaching but to really make significant advances you need someone on the outside who can give shape to your training and point you in the right direction.

The Importance of Tribe

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

As long as humans have been in existence, being part of a tribe has been crucial.

Originally it was important for survival, as groups can protect one another and navigate challenges with much more ease than a single person.

In fact, many species of animals run in tribes.

But because we no longer fear attacks by wild animals, natural disasters (well sometimes with hurricanes) and starvation, tribes have come to play a different role in our lives.

However, they still serve similar purposes like protection and support… Or at least they should.

You see, too often in today’s world people have what I’ll call tribes by default. They don’t really choose who is in their tribe – it’s more whoever happens to be around them in daily life.

So, I want to share with you the importance of CREATING your tribe. Now I’m not saying that you should kick friends and family to the curb at all, but you should consciously choose a high – level tribe.

A high-level tribe is a small circle of people that strive for more. They’re positive, supportive, and they don’t gossip. They lift each other up and help you find solutions to your challenges.

When a high-level tribe is absent from your life, it affects you on many levels including ways you may not even realize. In order to operate at your highest vibration and achieve the most in life, you MUST have a high-level tribe.

And that’s exactly what I’ve created here at Full Circle Coaching. So, if you or someone you know is struggling on any level personally, we invite you or them into our high-level tribe. We don’t judge, gossip, or criticize. We empower, love, and energize each other.

If this is something you know you need in your life, simply hit reply and share your thoughts. We’re here to support however we can, even if it’s just lending an ear.

Wishing You Well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie
