What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achievedMy Biggest improvement is in the swim.  Before I met Erinne, I was a non-swimmer.  I had some really bad habits and could not breath while swimming so I scheduled a 1-on-1 swim lesson.  From that one lesson I was able to correct some bad habits and learn to breathe while swimming.  I have come a long way and now I can say that I am a swimmer.

What is your “A” race for this season? Miami Man – November Int’l Triathlon.

Please share your BIG goals: Do a Full Ironman® by the time I am 50 yrs old.

Tell me about your successes so far:  What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

One year ago I smoked, was overweight, and was very stressed with a new start-up.  On June 30, 2017, I decided that health and family life was to be my focus going forward, so that day I smoked my last cigarette as my family and I started a long overdue family vacation.  After 2 weeks of smoking detox, I felt I needed a “carrot” to keep me from smoking so I signed up for a sprint triathlon (Key West Tri).  The idea being that the training would keep me from smoking.  So I googled a Tri Training Plan for newbies and joined Erinne’s Swim Masters class in October of 2017, later to realize I needed a team to train with so I joined Full Circle in December.  It only took a running evaluation by Coach Erinne in December, to get me running a 5k without stopping/walking and I was hooked on Full Circle and Tri Training.

I consider doing and finishing the Las Olas Sprint Tri a huge success and I now have a benchmark to beat on future sprints planned for the year.  Another big success so far, is completing a 5k race this weekend without walking with a PR of 27:10!

Swim – I am swimming faster and longer than ever;  Bike – from never riding a road bike (I didn’t know how/why to use bike gears) to a 19.1 mph average in Las Olas Sprint Tri;  Run – from the KB Lighthouse Run 5k time of 31:05 (run/walk) to the Patches 5k time of 27:10 (PR) without walking!!!

On the Health/Nutrition side I am still smoke free, did Erinne’s prescribed “Gut Cleanse” in January and have lost 10 lbs since October of last year.  In terms of biggest Goal achieved – finishing my first triathlon (Las Olas Sprint) in under 1 hr and 30 min, which I finished in 1 hr 24 min.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1.  Erinne’s evaluations, especially the swimming and running.
2.  The “Gut Cleanse” to start the year.
3.  Training with my new family, the Full Circle Team, which supports, pushes and encourages you to get better and faster while still having fun.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? Being called an “athlete”  🙂

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
“Just do it,” it will change your life for the better.

What is your “A” race for this season? My “A” race was Ironman Augusta 70.3, I decided to sign up for my first Ironman after completing some sprints and I definitely needed to seek help to be ready for this race

Please share your BIG goals: My goals have changed as I have progressed in life as triathlete

1.- Learn how to swim – As a late bloomer in swimming my first goal was to shift from “swim to survive” to an average swimmer, I couldn’t swim the length of a pool, now I can swim 1.2 miles with no sweat espcially after I took Erinne’s Swim Essential’s last Spring.

2.- Complete my first half ironman – I did this in Augusta in September 2018, I trained for about 7 months to achieve this goal, I completed my first half in 7 hrs.

3.- Improve my fitness- My fitness was below average before I started training, I could barely run for five minutes. Now I can tell I am in the best shape of my life!

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

3. Run 5K – 47 min to 28 min, running is a part of my life now

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? Being involved in triathlon and endurance sports enables you to push your limits and rediscover your own boundaries on what you think is possible and the things that you can achieve. It allows you to enter into a deeper connection between your body and mind

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

Beda Molina achieves Rockstar Triathlete Success (2nd year in a row) and Places top 10 at Ironman Miami 70.3, 2017

Coach Erinne’s Notes:
This lady never ceases to impress me. Her energy is infectious and wow can she dance! Most importantly, her dedication to her beloved sport of triathlon is unmatched. Whether she is with us at the group sessions or on her own she does not miss her training, even in rain and wind. Getting up at 4:30 is part of her routine often, but she makes training a priority. I am so happy she has done the rest, recovery and strength training over the previous 6 months to eliminate her hamstring injuries and race these 2 races back to back with great success. Using the tools that I give her we predicted her last 2 races within 3 minutes of her goal time. That is what good coaching and training is all about, an awesome coach/ athlete communication and relationship. I am so proud of you Lady! Can’t wait to see what you do in 2018! shoot for the moon and you will make it!.

Meet Beda Molina, Full Circle Coaching Rockstar Triathlete

Age: 51 years old

Profession: Business owner

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?  I Chose Full Circle Coaching because I trust Coach Erinne Guthrie’s knowledge, and I love the group of people in the team.

What is your “A” race for this season? I had two “A” races this season, Ironman 70.3 Augusta, and Ironman 70.3 Miami.

Please share your BIG goals: My big goals are to keep lowering my race times, avoid injuries, and prepare for an excellent full distance race next season.

Tell me about your successes so far: My successes so far, are in the results achieved in my three races this season. I was able to win AG in my first race this season, Olympic distance and quite competitive group.  Then finishing a sub 6 hrs half distance at Augusta felt really good, and in Miami I was able to place top ten in my division.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1.  First, the swim keeps getting better, I exit the water with a ton of energy, I will be focusing in the swim in the next few months.

2. I can now put together a strong bike and a strong run within the same race, which is very important, I definitely have improved in both disciplines.

3.  I have been able to stay away from any significant injury and have maintained a good health in general this season, so I intend to continue to follow Coach’s guidance in strengthening workouts and nutrition.

The things that have made the biggest difference are: following a training plan and being consistent with my training sessions and nutrition and being able to make a good race plan with accurate and realistic race times, something I learned from coach Erinne, which is an important tool as I have recently found out.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  What excites me about triathlon is getting to know so many people that are out there doing what I’m doing, the sport is in my opinion growing more each year particularly for us not so young athletes, also getting good results in race day and watching my conditions get better with the training are both exciting.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? To those considering joining our training program, I would recommend to join, it is certainly has helped me.

Chris Kinnaird Achieves Rockstar Triathlete Success

chris kinnaird 

Coach Erinne’s Notes: So Chris is my neighbor who I casually gave some running tips to here and there, which allowed him to break his 4 hour marathon goal! He kind of thought I might know what I was talking about after that. Then he won a free entry into the Ironman Miami 70.3 at our Holiday party and I thought for sure he would give the entry away, but I was pleasantly surprised when he decided to go for it! The rest is history. One year transformation from “runner only” to IM 70.3 Success. His biggest limiter being the swim, he knocked it out of the park on a seriously tough race day. You are truly a RockStar Chris! I know you make me and your family proud. Can’t wait to see what you say yes to next!!!

 

Meet Chris Kinnaird, Full Circle Coaching Rockstar Triathlete

Age: 44
Profession: Professor at MDC

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? This all started when I won a raffle for a free Ironman 70.3 registration. What a mistake that was! But that set me on a path of challenges, struggles, accomplishments, and success that I never imagined in my wildest dreams.

What is your “A” race for this season?  See above

Please share your BIG goals:  See above (Although I now am looking forward to new goals for next season, such as competing in a full Ironman or running my first ultra-marathon)

Tell me about your successes so far:  If you had told me a year ago that I would complete 6 triathlons this year, including Ironman Miami 70.3, I would have told you that you were nuts! I raced in my first-ever sprint triathlon in April, and completed a 70.3 less than 6 months later.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved: A year ago, I couldn’t swim one length of the pool. Now I can say that I swam 1.2 miles in the ocean. Obviously that didn’t happen overnight. The FCC training program kept me focused on my goals.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1. Having a support group of like-minded athletes (“crazy people”) who are training alongside you and holding you accountable
2. Working with a coach who frequently checks in on you and knows your personal goals and abilities and pushes you to reach beyond your limits.
3. Establishing a set of short, medium, and long-term goals outlined by your coach to keep you motivated throughout the season

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  Coming into triathlon as “just a runner” I now have confidence in myself to go after goals that I used to think were impossible. 

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? If you want to see your entire life transformed in a few short months, do it!

ROCKSTAR Triathlete Stephanie Prokup

Meet Stephanie Prokup, Full Circle Coaching Rockstar Triathlete
Age: 30
Profession: Speech Language Pathologist

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey: After participating in my first Olympic (April 2016 St. Anthony’s), I decided to sign up for 70.3 Miami.  I decided it was time to treat myself to a coach.  I knew that being a newbie, I definitely needed
guidance in attempting a 70.3.  I am so glad I took the plunge, it has been a wonderful experience.  I found Full Circle Coaching on the 70.3 Miami page and felt that Erinne’s coaching style would be a
perfect match for me.  I started working with coach Erinne in May of 2016.

What is your “A” race for this season? 70.3 Miami

Please share your BIG goals: Disney Marathon January 2017 & Ironman® Vineman July 29, 2017

Tell me about your successes so far: Since joining Full Circling Coaching, I have lost 12.8 pounds.
I have PR’d every race since joining Full Circle Coaching: 3 sprints and 1 Olympic. I also participated
in Erinne’s swim clinic and have improved a lot on my swim technique and pace.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following:
Swim: My swim technique and pace has greatly improved. When I started swimming in March of 2015, I swam at a 2:24 /100yds pace. I recently swam at a 1:49/100yds pace during Siesta Key MultiRace Sprint.
Bike:
My bike speed has improved, I am averaging 18.0+/mph
Run:
Form has improved, heart rate training has made a difference in how I feel during my run workouts.
Nutrition/Health:
I have lost 12.8 pounds since joining Full Circle Coaching.

Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved: I am no longer swimming for survival! I have broke the 2:00/100 yds!  Sprint PR From 1:33:29 to 1:29:14 and Olympic PR From 3:20:27 to 3:16:08.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: Before joining Full Circle coaching, I had never ventured into heart rate training or even attempted intervals, tempo runs,
recovery runs, etc. I believe these things have made a big difference in performance and my workouts
in general. I used to go 100% during every bike workout previously and have learned that’s not
necessarily best practice!

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? The challenges that you put yourself through and the feeling of accomplishment after. Challenges can be so terrifying, but they bring out the best in yourself and are some of my greatest memories & motivators.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? Erinne, is such a great coach!  She truly loves what she does.  I used to feel awful after races:
headache, lethargic, would nap on and off all day after a race, and never left the couch.  I just
completed Escape to Miami this past weekend and felt amazing.  I was on the fence of joining a
training program because of thoughts like; “I’m slow, only fast people get coaches,” “Nobody is
going to want to coach me, I have no background in any of the disciplines,” or “I’m not good
enough.”  I’m so glad I pushed those negative thoughts aside, because now I truly feel like a
“TRIATHLETE” and “ENDURANCE ATHLETE.”

Coach Erinne’s Notes:
As part of Full Circle’s  VIP ONLINE Training Program, Stephanie has had some amazing results in only a short time. She is diligent in her training and logs every workout so we can evaluate the numbers together so she is understanding why she is holding a particular cadence and or heart rate.  I am honored she chose me as her coach and so excited for the journey ahead to VineMan Ironman® in 2017.   WAY TO GO Steph, you are truly a Rockstar Triathlete!!

ROCKSTAR Triathlete Greg Kail

Greg Kail

Meet Greg Kail, Full Circle Coaching Rockstar Triathlete
Age: 41
Profession: Entrepreneur

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey: Because FCC gives me the perfect combination of triathlon camaraderie and focus on my personal goals. Even after I moved back to the Far East, I consider FCC my tri club today.

What is your “A” race for this season?Ironman® Netherlands this July and Ironman® 70.3 Miami, where I hopefully will be racing together with my FCC fellow athletes.

Please share your BIG goals: Continue to improve my athletic performance. Get closer to podium on an Ironman®, Challenge or Otillo event.

Tell me about your successes so far: In just over a year I went from a painful-barley-made-it 10 miles run (with pretty terrible results to match) to once-a-month 70.3. Along the way I’ve learned to swim, which is pretty awesome. My biggest success is the complete mental change – my entire life I was believing that sport is something, that wasn’t for me. I know now first hand experience that dedication and hard work can change that.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following:
Swim: I’ve learned to swim longer than a swimming pool length. That’s the best improvements I wouldn’t even dream of before I’ve joined FCC.

Bike: Improved technique, continuously adding on wattage, actually started enjoying the bike section on the long tri races.

Run: Run is now part of the race, rather than a discipline on it’s self.

Nutrition/Health: probably the biggest change since I have started triathlon by joining FCC is the radical, and positive, change of the lifestyle. The nutrition is a huge part of it.

Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:
70.3 – 5:40
10K – 43:31 min

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: Coach – there is almost no way a big result is attainable without one.

Lifestyle – the same old simply does not cut it. Good athletic performance calls for big changes. Luckily these changes are very positive.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? I feel awesome and I am also being surrounded by likeminded people now too.

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

As part of Full Circle’s  VIP ONLINE Training Program, Greg has been able to continue his Ironman® training with Full Circle Coaching and completed 3 halfs in the last 6 months with a PR at each race (5:42) on his way to the  IM® Netherlands in July.  I am SUPER proud of his dedication to train despite many setbacks due to travel and limited access to places to swim, bike and run. I am confident this soon to be Ironman®, is going to show us what he’s got many more times in the future.  WAY TO GO GREG!!

ROCKSTAR Triathlete Gerardo Cuadra

What is your “A” race for this season? Miami Man

Please share your BIG goals: To complete an Ironman before my 30th birthday.

Tell me about your successes so far:  Erinne helped me go from being almost afraid of the water to completing my first event involving an open water swim.

What were some of your biggest imporovements in performance for each of the following:

Swim: From not being able to swim 1 lap in a pool to swimming 500 meters in open water

Bike: A speed increase of several miles per hour on shorter rides

Run: PR’s in both 5k and half-marathon

Nutrition/Health: Lost 5lbs, greatly increased flexibility and reduced soreness

Achieved: 5k PR 23:02, Half marathon PR 1:58:12 and successfully completed my first triathlon.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:  Erinne’s expertise has allowed me to trust in the process and I have seen incredible improvement. In addition the camaraderie and supportive environment created by the group helped motivate me for all those early morning workouts that ultimately helped me reach my goals.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  The challenge of competing and improving in 3 sports simultaneously while still being part of an incredibly positive community.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?  This program can help so much more than simply improving your numbers. Erinne’s overall approach to health and training combined with a fantastic group of athletes will definitely make the experience worth it.

As part of Full Circle’s Gold Group Training Program, Gerardo was able to accomplish all these awesome goals in less than 6 months.  I am SUPER proud of this dedication and will to push through his fears of the water as well as improve his strengths by getting faster.  WAY TO GO GERARDO!!
