I’m Not Your Typical Triathlon Coach

I’m Not Your Typical Triathlon Coach

When you shop around for coaches, you may find many of the same old kind of coaching.
A monthly membership fee in return for a training plan – with little to zero accountability.

I don’t know about you, but that does not work for me.

I am a triathlete just like you and I expect a lot from anyone who coaches me.

I expect my coach to practice what they preach. If my coach is not healthy and in shape and training and racing for triathlons – they will not be my coach!

Me and my team of coaches are all triathletes and have over 50 years of combined training and coaching experience. We all train and race and know exactly what it takes to improve in the sport using our proven training programs that get results and help you to keep improving.

Today I wanted to share how my coaching program is VERY different from the mainstream. 

In my Triathlon Transformation Coaching program, I help you have a relationship with your body that allows for your best performance.
I teach you how to train and fuel yourself to thrive in the sport of triathlon and life.

I help you each step of the way to your first triathlon or you 100th.

The goal is constant steady improvement no matter what your experience level is.

We use evaluations to assess your exact skill and fitness level and then create the training program based on these evaluations and field testing to help you improve in a step by step process that guarantees results.

These evaluations are what make the training program individual to you.

Please don’t hire me if you want to train with no specificity or focus, get injured and burn out with tons of junk miles!
We will not be aligned, and the results won’t come.

If you are ready for a triathlon transformation using your personal strengths and improving your limiters to achieve your triathlon dreams with a proven scientific training plan,
here’s my application to join my 16-week Triathlon Transformation Triathlon Training Program.
After you fill it out, take the time to set up a Triathlon Breakthrough Session to learn more about working together. We will review your triathlon goals and dreams and I’ll explain exactly how my program works and we can decide together if we are a good fit to work together.

I’m accepting five more spots this month! Just in time to finish 2023 with success!

The Triathlon Transformation Program focuses on you as an individual; your form, technique, strength, fueling, and mindset. Through video analysis, metabolic testing, holistic lifestyle coaching, and a supportive community, you will achieve all your triathlon dreams and goals to get faster in less time.

If you want to show up confidently at the start of your next race — swimming, biking, and running past the competition, sprinting across the finish line with arms overhead, knowing you nailed it — then this program is for you.

Get started with my 16-week Triathlon Transformation Triathlon Training Program by filling out this application.

I am not ready for RAAM

by fullcircle, posted in Bike, Blogs, Erinne

RAAM is almost here.

RAAM is almost here and I’m just not ready! In case you don’t know what RAAM is- It is the Ride Across America and it’s a bike race across the United states, over 3000 miles.

This is by far the hardest endurance event I have ever attempted. Longer than the Tour de France! I’m not sure what I was thinking when I said yes to this challenge 3 years ago.

This team has been through some big changes over the last 3 years. The setbacks have been many.

Gathering the crew to commit to traveling with us for 2 weeks was a challenge.

Our crew chief- Kendal Tully broke her ankle and will be doing this with a boot! A few cases of covid affected training and my back injury has all proved challenging to overcome.

The team of 4 cyclists has changed 3 x.

But we now have our final team of 4- Hunter Tully, Dennis Phipps, Ollie Garcia and me.

I am so happy to have Coach Dennis, Coach Ollie and Hunter Tully as fellow cyclists and Monica Rizo on our support crew all from the Full Circle tribe along with 6 others, all sacrificing their time to care for and support us on our mission.

We were worried we wouldn’t get to the start line. But we just loaded the motor home with all of our bikes and gear and it’s heading to the start line in California and we all fly out Wednesday.

The fact remains I don’t feel ready. My fitness is not where I want it to be. I have not trained long or hard for over a month. I’m both embarrassed that I did this to myself and afraid to let my team down. The fear that I just might not be good enough to do this is running through my head.

But, I have to put all of my fears aside and remember all of my 25 years of experience and my WHY.

It’s really not about me.

It’s about the total effort of everyone working together to bring awareness to our cause, www.4cyclsits4kids.com raising money for the 4Kids charity.

I will have to rely on all my past experience to carry me through this event. Trust and believe we can do this together as a team for our cause!

The logistics to pull this thing off are overwhelming. The details of the event and all the rules we have to abide by are critical to our success.

We leave Wednesday (6/15) to fly to California and then on Saturday June 18th, we are the 1st team of 4 (team #300) starting at 12 noon EST in Oceanside.

Dennis and I will start the first 6 hour pull, alternating cycling for 30 minutes each and switching with a follow car behind us. So we will ride from 12 pm to 6 pm, and then get a 6 hour break in our motorhome.

Then Coach Ollie and Hunter will have their 6 hour turn.

Then Dennis and I again from 12 AM- 6 PM. etc.

We will repeat this cycle for 7-8 days and nights depending on how fast we ride through weather, desert and 3 mountain ranges!

You can follow us on our journey by checking in to the www.RAAMRACE.org as we will have a GPS with us the whole way.

I have a favor to ask you… Please send us some energy next week as we will truly be needing it!

Our goal is to raise awareness and $300,000.00 for 4Kids whose mission is “Every child deserves a happy home.”

Our donation page is 4cyclists4kids

We will be posting on both the Full Circle Coaching and 4cyclists4kids Instagram as well.

Thanks so much for all your support over the next 2 weeks. Cannot wait to share this journey with you.

Time to Recharge

Time to Recharge

I’m in Aspen Colorado with some great friends enjoying a change of scenery.

The views, mountains and cool dry air are pretty much the exact opposite of my Miami environment.

It is so nice to just get away from the day to day routine and spend quality time with friends and family, eating great food and laughing.

The mountains make for a completely different kind of exercise. At this altitude everything is a little bit harder on my sea level lungs but, the scenery makes it so enjoyable. Breathing the cool dry air and taking in the size of the mountains is breathtaking in a good way!

But yet, even with all this I am struggling to truly let go, thinking of all the things I should be doing.

As a small business owner, it’s difficult to completely let go of the day to day in my company and wondering if if I’m doing enough in every moment and trusting those I left in charge that everything will be just fine.

It’s a hard ask of myself on a daily basis to let go and trust that everything will be ok!

But I’m practicing, just like I practice for triathlon training – for me the commitment to train or rest is not a problem. I can find the balance and my passion is helping others to find that balance too.

I’m wondering if you can relate to this struggle…

Please reply if you feel inspired, oh and I hope you’re planning some down time with friends and family too this summer!

Athlete Blood Test; My live Blood Work Results

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Erinne, Nutrition, Testing

Athlete Blood Test – Watch VIDEO

I found Athlete Blood Test 3 years ago after searching for an easy way to get my blood work information. They are definitely the simplest solution to my quest and they focus on markers that are important to me and the athletes I work with. I know and educate my athletes on how to stay balanced with training, racing and real life but some times imbalances occur especially as stresses increase. Training, nutrition and lifestyle adjustments are always where I start but having the individual information from blood work is extremely helpful to get back on track quickly.


I personally test every year when I’m feeling good to see where my markers naturally lie, and then if i’m feeling off and test I can see where things have changed.

I have had many athletes identify imbalances and correct them with food and supplementation to get back into their optimal performance after getting the information we needed.

 I decided to include my test results with you this year, to review some of the questions I had. I also learned that ABT has genetic testing available now as well. In the recording you can hear the benefits of the genetic component which I had not considered before. Please enjoy and comment after listening if you have any questions. All Full Circle Athletes receive a discount to these helpful services.

Something Bigger

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Erinne

Something Bigger

I know I’ve been going on and on about my Ultimate Tri camp or bragging about all the amazing accomplishments of my Rockstar Triathletes, but this is bigger because it’s not about me or Full Circle Coaching. This is about abused and neglected children being able to find a safe home in the USA and how there is a solution.  And just because you are reading this you are actually helping. Keep reading to find out how.
In June 2020, I have a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) of riding my bike with 3 team mates across the United States to raise awareness to this solvable problem. It’s called Race Across America or RAAM. and

I’m going to donate $10 from every athlete I coach every month January to June for this cause “4Cyclists4KIDS Race Across America” www.4kids.us/amazingrace2020

I have been looking for a cause to align with. One that fills my heart and gives me more reason to be of service and have a purpose. I learned about 4Kids from Nick Vajucic at a talk he gave about not letting physical limitations stop you. If you don’t know him, he is an absolutely amazing human being – no arms or legs – married with 4 kids of his own and he helps 35 or more children through the 4 kids organization. He surfs, sky dives, swims and sweeps the floor – all with help but that’s the point! Help.

So, I’ve decided to help too.  So thanks for being a part of my BHAG for 2020. If you are interested in helping me out in other ways besides just being one of my athletes, there are lots; 

  • Invite me to bike with you, I need to bike a lot in the next 7 months, I can use some company. I just started a cycling streak, I’m riding every single day in the month of December. Join me!
  • Buy raffle tickets for your chance to win some pretty awesome prizes including a free entry to Ultimate Tri Camp ($999 Value). Look for upcoming details.
  • Donate a few extra dollars if you feel so inspired for Giving Tuesday- http://www.4kids.us/amazingrace2020

Now that you know one of my BHAG’s (Big Hairy Audacious Goal), I would love to hear about yours! Please post in the comments a big intention you have for 2020, or share a cause you are passionate about. Can’t wait to see your replies!

Why do I Still Race?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Erinne, Mindset

medal EG 2_m-100779859-DIGITAL_HIGHRES-2141_042097-10684174

Why do I still race?  I could be the coach that used to race.  The one who remembers the glory days and now I just sit on the couch eating bon-bon’s, remembering how I used to be healthy and in great shape.

But, that’s not me!

I believe it’s important to practice what you preach and I aim to do just that, PRACTICE!
Because at times it’s difficult to get it all right, Wait!!! Do we EVER get it ALL right???
Sometimes it feels like I do.  When I am in that flow state, but mostly I am just behind that, always striving to get back there. And that is what keeps me motivated to keep training after all these years (21 to be exact).

Racing is a privilege and as long as I get to keep racing, I will! There have been too many times over the years that I was injured or sick when racing wasn’t an option so I cherish racing.
I love it!  It takes me out of my day to day, shakes things up and pushes me out of my comfort zone.  Our minds and bodies need stress to improve, get stronger and faster. There is no better feeling than crossing that finish line, arms overhead, smiling ear to ear with that awesome sense of accomplishment.

Having a goal to get across the line with a new personal record or just get out there and give it my all helps me get my training in on a daily basis.  Without that race date on the calendar it can be hard to stay focused on training or stay motivated, especially after doing this for 20 years.  However, with a race day set on the calendar I’m much more likely to be consistent. Then there are the races where I participate just to get a workout in with no real goals but to cross the line.

I’m not the fastest triathlete by far, but I’m always just searching for ways to improve and get better just like all the athletes that come to me for coaching.  I never in a million years imagined I’d get to a World Championships, but I set this as a goal 3 years ago and this year for the second time I competed in a World Champs.  My first time was last September 2016, at Cozumel, Mexico. I competed in the Inaugural Age Group Draft Legal Sprint World Championships and this year in 2017 I raced in Penticton, Canada for  the Long Course Aqua Bike World Championships.

Traveling to cool destinations is also a bonus of racing!

The most important reason I race is because I KNOW it makes me a better coach.  When I’m racing I am constantly thinking how I can remind my athletes of all these things I am experiencing.  The chafe on my neck because I forgot to add coconut oil so my wet suit doesn’t rub. The benefits of chamois cream for a long course race. The best gearing for climbing, the healthiest nutrition that aids in performance; and a million other things that include the good the bad and the challenging.  I hope to inspire my athletes to set big goals and work smart and hard to achieve them. Everything I learn I love to share and pass along to them.  Racing takes skill,  practice and repetition to get better.  I have raced in well over 100 races and I have learned a lot but there is so much more to learn and share. Just as much as I love to achieve my goals in racing, nothing makes me happier than to see my athlete’s successes! It’s truly Awesome!

I don’t think my coaching would be as effective if I wasn’t still out there participating and getting the real time information.

I have a rule that I follow about who I learn from. This includes doctors, coaches, therapists. I always look at them and ask myself “Do they exemplify what I want to be like? Look like?  Are they fit and  healthy? Have they mastered what it is I am seeking advice from them for? Or have they helped others get to where I want to go?”

If the answer is “No,” I’m not likely to follow what they recommend as much as someone who does!

Thanks for reading.  Hope to see you at the races!!

Wishing you well,
