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

Dime, Le Vas a la Rueda?

by fullcircle, posted in Bike, Blogs

Dime, le vas a la rueda?  Pregunto si conduces extremamente pegadito al ciclista que tienes al frente para beneficiar de su velocidad?

En el mundo de ciclismo el tema y definación de “Drafting o Slipstreaming” / “ir a la rueda” es una técnica a la cual dos objetos en movimiento se alinean en grupo para reducir el gasto de energía para mantener velocidad con menos esfuerzo.

Entiendo que nuestro tono puede sonar un poco agresivo y por esto demoré meses en publicar este escrito, pues no es mi entención ofender a nadie, pero me siento un poco cansada de aguantar mis sentimientos y he decidido utilizar este escrito como una oportunidad de enseñanza.

“Yendo al la rueda” como ciclista en un triatlón que sea “Non-draft legal” es hacer trampa, y NO existe ninguna exepción ha esta regla.  Estoy cansada de ver ciclistas de buen atletisismo aprovecharse de ir a la rueda cuando los oficiales no están mirando y se aprovechan.  Me enfurece cuando veo que un atleta de ciclismo lo hace, ni hablar cuando noto que un grupo de ciclistas lo están haciendo durante una carrera.

Cuando vuelan pasandome u otro ciclista les hago saber que están yendo la rueda me responden con las escusas como “No lo puedo ayudar” o “Todos los de mas lo hacen.”

Es una j****a pena que estas personas no respetan las reglas y en vez escogen hacer trampa.  Y me enfurece mas cuando los veo parados en el podio celebrando su victoria cuando en actualidad les han robado el puesto a otros.  Ustedes saben quienes son, y seguramente no es solo esto en sus vida que actúan deshonestos!

Yo tengo una solucion que quizas los directores de carrera deberían considerar e invertir.  Cada chip de sincronizacion  puede tener un “GPS” y durante la carrera cada ciclista que se pegue  dentro de tres largos de bicicleta por mas the 15 segundos recibirá una penalidad (esta idea me la propuso mi compañero) y me encantó!

No tomen esto a mal, a mi me encanta “ir a la rueda” per solo en carreras que son especificamente carreras designadas de “ir a la rueda.”  Tambien utilizo esta técnica durante prácticas en grupo y para mi propio entrenamiento.  Pienso que se debe practicar esta técnica durante el entrenamiento ambos ciclismo y triatlon.  Pero la verdad es que es triste cuando estoy en medio de una carrera y otro ciclista o grupo de ellos me van a la rueda y pasan volando en frente de mí.  Yo podría seguirlos y hacer lo mismo, y tal vez usar la misma escusa que ellos, pero no lo hago, y no lo haré nunca, ni siquiera por el costo del podio.

Pienso que otra solución seria hacer todas las carreras de triatlón legal “ir a la rueda.”  Pero tambien es mas peligroso conducir de esta manera con “aero-bars,” así que no creó que esto suceda pronto.

Ya que me desaogué…
Por favor mire este enlace que contiene una lista de las reglas más violadas durante carreras de triatlón.

Espero que no haya ofendido a nadie, solamente deséo educarlos sobre las reglas, y no se preocupe que si los véo “yendo la rueda” durante una carrera, se los recordaré!

Do You Suck?

by fullcircle, posted in Bike, Blogs

Please see this exact post in Spanish for all my Hispanic friends!!!

Do You Suck? You Know, Suck Wheel?  –  I mean draft, on your bike very close behind another cyclist so that you benefit from having less resistance behind the cyclist in front of you.

Official Definition in Wikipedia of Drafting or Slipstreaming –  a technique where two vehicles or other moving objects are caused to align in a close group reducing the overall effect of drag due to exploiting the lead object’s slipstream. Especially when high speeds are involved, as in motor racing and cycling, drafting can significantly reduce the paceline‘s average energy expenditure required to maintain a certain speed and can also slightly reduce the energy expenditure of the lead vehicle or object.

I have been hesitant to write this blog for many months because I’m afraid my assertive tone might offend you, but I’m tired of holding back on how I truly feel so I decided to make it a teaching/coaching opportunity.

Drafting in a non-draft legal triathlon is CHEATING, there are NO exceptions to this rule and I’m tired of seeing able bodied cyclists taking advantage of drafting when race officials are not looking and just plain cheating.  It pisses me off when I see anyone drafting let alone a pack of cyclists doing it during a non draft legal race.

My favorite excuse that I hear when I remind someone that they are drafting off of me or another cyclist as they fly by me is “I can’t help it” or “Everyone else is doing it.”

It’s a f*****g shame and disgraceful that people cannot hold themselves accountable to the rules of the race and choose not to cheat.  It makes me even more angry when those exact cheaters are up on the podium hooting and hollering about their victory when they have robbed an honest racer from their spot on the stage!  You know who you are!  And it is probably not the only thing in your life you’re dishonest about.

But I have a solution that race directors could invest in; Every timing chip could have a GPS in it and any racer within 3 bike lengths for longer than 15 seconds automatically gets a penalty!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love to draft.  I race in draft legal races and use it for group rides and my own triathlon/ cycling training.  I think it’s an important part of conditioning for cycling and triathlon events.  It just sucks when I am out there racing my race and another racer or group of racers are drafting on me or blowing by me in a draft pack.  I could jump on with the other cheaters, sighting one of the excuses above but I don’t and I won’t, even at the cost of a podium spot!

I’m thinking another solution to this problem is to make all triathlons draft legal! But it is more dangerous to be riding in a pack on a time trial bike with aero-bars, so not sure that will happen anytime soon.

So now that I’m off my soap box…
Please check out the PDF that has a list of the Most Violated USA Triathlon Rules for Racing.

I hope I didn’t offend anyone, I only want to educate you about the rules, but don’t worry if I see you out there drafting in a non-drafting race- I will happily remind you!

Please see this exact post in Spanish for all my Hispanic friends!!!
Happy racing!

No Pain, No Gain is Not What You Think It Is

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Pain is your friend and a personal guide to listen to and you need to listen to it just as you would listen to a person who is a friend.  It communicates with you, it can help you in many ways.

The term “No Pain, No Gain” is a term that gets misused a lot.  Yes, it’s true that to get stronger and faster you may have to push through some discomfort or pain to go beyond what you thought was possible for yourself.  In fact, there is an awesome book called “How Bad Do You Want It” where the author sites that in scientific studies with athletes pushing hard in a sports event, the brain signals to back off because of pain or discomfort but in reality the athlete can have as much as 40% more to give.

It’s important as an athlete to test your limits in a smart and safe way to get stronger and faster.  Where the “No Pain, No Gain” slogan does not work is when you feel like you may have an injury.  If your body is giving you pain signals that you may have hurt yourself, it really is NOT wise to push through and keep training.  This kind of pain is your body giving you feedback to pay attention to the problem.  If you listen and back off, tell your coach about it or get an evaluation from a physical therapist or other sports professional you can usually fix the issue rather than pushing through and ultimately making it worse.

I use a number scale for myself and my athletes.  You can have an injury and still train.  Doing nothing is actually really bad advice (more on that later)  The pain just needs to be a 5 or less on a 1-10 pain scale.  One, is zero pain, 10 is something is broken or torn.  With a five or less, you can do good pre-hab exercises and dynamic stretching and or foam rolling so you can still train.  If the pain gets higher than a five, you stop!  If it stays less than five, or ideally getting back to zero, you can keep training.  Stress plus rest equals growth…

Marine Biologist Benefits From Training Like An Athlete

by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS
Even though Bradley doesn’t consider himself an athlete he most assuredly is!  His commitment and desire to adopt a healthy lifestyle with nutrient dense foods, swimming and running has had some great results that I hope he will take with him for a lifetime.  I am so happy I could help you do your job with more swim skill and confidence and help you in your journey.  I wish you all the best and hope to see you out there swimming soon! – Coach Erinne Guthrie

Rockstar Bradley Strickland

Age: 28
Profession: Biologist

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

My research requires me to swim and dive for equipment that we keep at the bottom of rivers, streams, and bays in the Everglades to track the movements of sharks, alligators, snook, and several other large predators.  Full Circle Coaching was recommended as a coaching group that could help me learn to be more comfortable in the water and become a more efficient swimmer and free diver.

Tell me about your successes so far:

I am happy to report that the last round of fieldwork went incredibly well.  I could tell a huge difference in my ability to dive and swim after spending the last four months with Full Circle.

Please share your BIG goals:

As a beginner, I wanted to be able to swim a mile.  With Erinne’s help, I’ve shattered that goal.  Now I would like to be able to go for a 2 mile swim!

What were some of your biggest improvements in performance for the each of the following?

Swim: Before FCC, I could swim a couple of laps and just be exhausted.  Now I routinely swim 2000m in a practice and am much faster and more efficient. 
Run: Before Full Circle, I was intensely over-striding and heel-striking. Now my technique is safer and I am much faster.  I’ve moved from roughly an 8 minute mile to a best 7 minute mile. 
Nutrition/Health: I eat cleaner and do my best to plan my meals around proteins.  I’ve learned that a snack doesn’t have to be junk food. 

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

  1. Even though I was focused on my swim, Erinne spent weeks improving my flexibility and giving me strength training exercises focused on body resistance.  This emphasis on whole body training has helped me even beyond swimming.
  1. We moved my nutrition away from a carb heavy diet to one balanced with protein and fat.  This really increased my stamina and energy level throughout the day and in workouts.

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

With the program, you learn how to train correctly to minimize the risk of injury and how to “train smarter, not harder.”  These are things that you will keep with you for as long as you are able to keep training.

The 1-Day Triathlon Camp Changed My Life

by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS

Coach Erinne Guthrie’s Notes:  John’s responses made me laugh and cry, you ARE that sexy bald man now for sure (read below), and I couldn’t be more proud of your successes this past year.  To see you PR by 14 minutes from last year at the Ride on Ryan Triathlon was truly awesome and it is all your dedication to the training that has gotten you this far.  I am so happy you have enjoyed the process as much as me and reading these words make me happy I do what I do.  Thank you for loving this sport as much as I do and seeing how much better your life can be when you are a TRIATHLETE.  You are truly a ROCKSTAR!

Age: I will be 55 this year, what’s the name of that song? “I Can’t Drive ??!!😊”

Profession: Senior Manager of Software Quality Assurance here at Gulfstream Aerospace in Savannah, Georgia.

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? In 2017, I raced my 1st triathlon ever; 30 days prior, I received an email asking if I would like to participate in a triathlon day camp featuring some “infamous” woman from the Triathlon world.  I figured some pointers would help keep me alive, why not.  The 1-day camp changed my life, not only did I meet a crazy, funny woman (she asked me to do the craziest sounding things), but she is authentic, passionate, direct, open and respected me for me.  She spoke my understanding which started me on this obsession.

What is your “A” race for this season?  I have two, first one I just did (Ride on Ryan, April) and I did a personal best, and 14% improvement from last year; next is in September (Rock n Roll man). Though I plan to compete in 6 triathlons and 4 running events this year  (5k, 2-10k, and a ½ Marathon).

Please share your BIG goals:  5 Years ago, my goal was to lose some weight and get fit through “exercising.”  Two years ago, my goal was to get fitter than my circle of friends, last year my goal was to show me that I can do it (4 Tri’s, 3 Runs).  This year my goal is to increase my fitness/endurance to compete in Olympic level triathlons and Marathon level runs, and I am on that path of success with Full Circle Coaching. All my training is online.

Tell me about your successes so far:  My biggest success is – 5 Years ago I was a 6ft, 210lbs, 50yr old bald man. I have gone through 4 major wardrobe changes (Goodwill loves me).  Now, I am a 6ft, 165lbs (same as when I was 18yrs old in the Marine Corps), 55yr old, sexy bald man.  Last year I ran my first 10k ever, and now I am training for a ½ Marathon.  Last year I started Triathlons, this year I am making personal bests and placing on the podiums.  Life is my success!

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1. I could barely  swim 50 meters, now I swim a mile every couple of days.
2. I could barely last 30 min on a bike. Now my butt can withstand a whole lot longer and I can be in an aero- position for hours on end (sometimes I feel as though I could do lunch in that position).
3. I have gone from running a 15 min/ mile to an 8:20 min/ mile

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  There are a few; the variety of being able to swim, bike, and run feels more well rounded.  The silence and kinship I get to do these activities alone this just my mind to challenge, and I get to do these activities with a group and enjoy the camaraderie. Besides, when you say you did and are doing triathlons, you are head and shoulders above what most people are attempting.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?  My world changed in what I call a 30 day trial, I could see that regardless of how good I am at learning from the internet there is no comparison to the personal touch I get from this program. The program is tailored to me, my lifestyle, my capability, my desire/goals, and my commitment. If you’ve ever wanted a teacher, a cheerleader, a motivator, and a listener this program is for you.
