Rockstar Triathlete Gabriella Chacin

Coaches Notes: Well what can I say, Gaby holds a special place in my heart since I have worked with her in triathlon since she was 7 years old. I am tearing up now thinking of how far she has come and how inspiring she is to everyone on my team. This is has definitely been a TRIBE effort. Everyone on the team looks out for Gaby at practices and supports her so much.

Her determination is unstoppable and when she commits, it is 100%. Having the other coaches Dennis Phipps and Daniela Montiel be able to train with her has also greatly improved her development over the years. I could not be more proud of you Gaby, I love you as my own daughter and know you will make it as far as you set your mind to. Keep believing in yourself and dreaming BIG!!!!!

Age: I am currently 15 years old but turn 16 October 13, which is really soon:)

Profession: Since I am only 15, I don’t have a profession but I do go to school and am in the tenth grade. When I grow older the profession I would like to have is something within the medical field, maybe sports medicine. I also love science and marine biology, anything that involves being outside and in the environment.

Why did you choose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? Me and Full Circle go way back. When I was seven years old I joined a kids triathlon group that was coached by Erinne and Tachi Llamas. Since that moment, I got hooked. Around three years later, when I was old enough, I officially joined team Full Circle and completed my first sprint triathlon, which was Huntington’s Disease Triathlon Ever since that moment I haven’t stopped doing triathlons. I have actually been working really hard on expanding my athletic career in which Erinne has played an enormous role in helping me form a solid base and not just physically but nutrition wise too. Erinne has been my coach for six years and I’ve known her for nine so at this point it’s more than a coaching relationship, she and Kaia, her daughter have become like family. 

What is your “A” race for this season? Coincidentally, I just came back from completing my “A” race which was the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final in Lausanne, Switzerland. Ten months of hard work went into preparing myself for this race and I couldn’t have done it without all of the Full Circle coaches and of course the team. I haven’t really given it much thought of what my next “A” race will be, considering that I just came back from Switzerland a few days ago, but I think my ultimate goal for next season is to focus on all the draft legal series and qualify to go to nationals in Ohio as an elite. I have been wanting to focus and work on this for two years now but with other major events unexpectedly popping up I haven’t been able to. 

Please share your BIG goals: For triathlon in general my overall BIG goal is to NEVER quit, or stop doing it. I want to grow old and always apply the principles I’ve learned on how to live a healthy lifestyle through triathlon. Besides that, specifically my BIG goal is to become a professional triathlete like Katie Zaferes. I just want to move farther and farther up, level wise, in triathlon until I become a pro.

Tell me about your successes so far: Besides completing a large of number of races, and always making progress and improving my times in each one, I have attended a few really important races that have gotten me closer to my BIG goal. Starting in 2017, I attended my first ever Youth National Championship, which was my first time competing out of the state of Florida. The following year, I went back and ended up on the podium at Youth Nationals with a 5th place finish. Since that was my last year as a youth, which is ages 7-15, I couldn’t attend the following year unless I qualified to compete among the elites or juniors (ages 16-19). As I mentioned previously, I wasn’t able to attend any of the series qualifiers so I didn’t do nationals the summer of 2019. Instead I unexpectedly qualified for Worlds 2019 on October 13, my birthday, in Sarasota which, in my opinion, has been the best thing that has happened to my athletic career so far and was better than qualifying for nationals.

I’m extremely happy with my results and the way I performed at Worlds considering it was the most challenging race I have ever done and can’t wait for many more successes to come.

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: Over the years I have majorly improved my performance in the sport of triathlon. Every year I make new PR’s and set the bar higher. Although, I feel that in nutrition I have made the biggest improvement of all. I’ve never really eaten unhealthy, I’ve always known the obvious things that you should and shouldn’t eat, but now I know even more and can really say that I know how to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: 
1. Learning more and more about the importance of proper nutrition before and after a practice or race has been something that has majorly improved my performance.
2. Having really knowledgeable, fun, and determined coaches has really helped me to be successful.3. I think that the most important thing that has really made a difference in my journey and the only reason I’ve gotten this far is because of my parent’s and sister’s support, especially my moms. Without my mom I wouldn’t be where I am today in the sport of triathlon. I would have never gotten this far without her encouragement, support, love, and sacrifice.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? I think the environment of it all is really the most fun part about it all. Releasing energy in the best way possible feels really good. Just being able to compete with people just like me that have a love and passion for the sport is awesome. Traveling to competitions is super exiting too because then I get to know a new place and do what I love at the same time.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? I would for sure recommend Full Circle Coaching to anyone who wants to join a Triathlon Team. The coaching is really amazing, they are just so dedicated and really focus on getting you to your goal. Also, the amount of knowledge Erinne can give you about racing, nutrition, and mental skills is not something many other coaches can do. Besides the actual coaching and discipline that the group comes with, joining Team FC is like joining one huge family. The friends you make in the group really help you move forward and reach your goals. Joining the team is highly recommendable!!

To Dreaming

To Dreaming

One thing you may not know about me is that I love people and learning about them.

I love learning about their lives, their history, and their dreams.

I believe too many dreams are kept secret.

I know too many dreams are unfulfilled as they’re put off due to the demands of life until it’s too late and they’re forever unrealized.

The first step in bringing a dream to fruition, I often find, is declaring it to the universe or at least sharing it with someone. Writing it down, vocalizing it out loud and making it known.

I remember when I first dreamed of doing my first triathlon, starting my own company that helped people realize their dreams. And here we are!

So, let’s dream together today, what’s your greatest dream?

To travel somewhere?

To start a business?

To move or change careers?

There’s no right or wrong answer because it’s YOUR dream.

Big or small,

I’d be honored if you shared with me!

I can’t wait to receive your inspiration! Cheers to dreaming!

Rockstar Triathlete Steven Sabatino

Rockstar Triathlete Steven Sabatino

Coach’s Notes: When Steve recommitted to training with me this year, he was really ready to make some changes. His commitment to really learning what was holding him back and then applying the tools I gave him has been amazing to watch.

Taking 20 minutes off his sprint race time by showing up to classes and Swim Essentials and 25 pounds lighter after a gut healing protocol and holistic nutrition program. He is now ready to start ramping it up for longer distance triathlon. Super proud of you Steve, we will continue to make improvements as long as you choose to!

Age: 55

Profession:
Culinary Instructor

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I heard from a friend that Erinne was one of the best coaches in Miami so I always go with the best.

What is your “A” race for this season?
70.3 Puerto Rico 2020

Please share your BIG goals:
Training with FC has given me such confidence in the sport that I love even though I have just started doing them in the last few years.

Tell me about your successes so far:
I started training again with Erinne this February and I have stayed consistent. From my sprint race in May to the sprint race in August, I have taken 20 minutes off my time total time. In one month from the Trilogy in July to Trilogy 3 in August, I cut 6 minutes off my time!

I have also been doing Erinne’s nutrition coaching since mid July and have Lost 25 pounds.

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:

I have improved on every level of my training, taking minutes off each discipline, swim, bike and run and of course, pounds. I am still working on my nutrition and will be at my ideal weight soon as the pounds keep coming off.

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

  1. With nutrition, Erinne’s gut healing guidance has made a huge impact on how I feel so much better. Also, knowing what foods to eat for my metabolic type.
  2. Of course having such great coaching, teaching and correcting my form.
  3. The support of the entire FC tribe because it is a lot easier to get goals accomplished as a team than as an individual.

What excites you the most about involved in triathlon?
Every triathlon gets me excited to see what I can do mentally and physically and puts me in a better place to improve myself and motivate the people that I work with.

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

Just do it. Stop making excuses. Having a great coach and awesome teammates has elevated my skills to achieve things I thought I never could do.

Ready To Run?

Ready to Run?

With running season here, I want to share my video on running posture for your best run performance.

Running can be simple and easy if you tap into your body’s natural spring and the force of gravity as you literally just fall forward, and use your hamstrings to lift your heels up behind you,

Good posture is essential from toes to nose for life and running. 

Think about being tall but relaxed.  

Ears over shoulders.
Shoulders over hips.
Hips over knees.
Soft knees over feet 
and then
Fall forward from your ankles.
Arms bent to 90 degrees swinging front to back like pendulums, not crossing your mid-line.
Pull heels up with a relaxed ankle one at a time
and repeat – NOW you are running!

Aim for 45 footsteps in 15 seconds for optimal foot cadence or foot strike.

Check out this quick video to see it in action- https://youtu.be/kPAvzeHinTs

It’s that simple!

Are you training for the MiamiMarathon or another upcoming running race? Want to become a faster runner? want to get over a running injury?

Results

Results

Results come out of hard work. These last several months have been a great example of everyone’s hard work here at Full Circle Coaching. 

I know we celebrate the podiums, PR’s (personal records) and first times but honestly showing up and crossing the finish line are just as important.
 
You cannot win every race, or even PR at every race. There will always be races that don’t go as planned, just like life. 

That’s when you know it’s time to evaluate the race and look back at the weeks leading up to it to see if you really did put in the time and focus as it takes to get better at the sport. 

You cannot “wing” triathlon! 

If you want to get better you must look at the limiters and see where you can improve and then put in the time and effort to get better.

The coaches and I are here to guide you, but YOU must do the work!

We are are here for you every step of the way and all your amazing results are why you and we continue to grow.
 
So, thank you and let’s Celebrate YOU and all your hard work!!! 

Congratulations on your commitment to succeed at triathlon at every level.

Why Some People Lose Weight Faster than Others

Why Some People Lose Weight Faster than Others

This topic can be quite frustrating for those who struggle more with weight loss, so I want to shed some light on this today. 

A lot of factors play into our weight – the genetics of our body type, our gender (yes, men tend to lose faster than women as a whole), and many other things but I want to focus on the 2 most important ones today.  The ones we have complete control over. 

1. Our metabolism.  Yes, some people are just metabolically gifted.  Others can’t seem to gain weight no matter how hard they try.  Others seem to have to kill themselves to see the scale budge. 

Both age and gender play into your metabolic rate but so does your activity level and the amount of muscle you carry.

So, do your best with your genetics and seriously focus on adding as much muscle as possible and leveraging daily activity (like walking), frequently.

2. Your stress response.  As we grow up, our stress response is cemented, and it has a lot to do with food.

Of course, things like your hormone (cortisol) levels can factor into weight loss (or lack thereof), but stress response also impacts our eating habits.

And considering people are more stressed than they’ve ever been, this is playing a huge factor in the global weight crisis. Cortisol levels affect hormones and your body is tired and wired.

People tend to overeat (comfort eaters) or under eat in response to stress, and this can have a tremendous impact on our weight.  Do you know your tendency?

Do you have ways to handle your stress and even make it work for you?

I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with this.  Comment below and let me know how this sits with you.

And if you want my help with this, let me know that too – I’m here for ya!

I have dug myself out of an over-stressed, unhealthy place many times where I was undernourished, and I have helped hundreds learn to balance stress with food and lifestyle.  I actually include this aspect of my holistic lifestyle coaching into all my coaching training camps and retreats.

Bahamas Triathlon Retreat registration is now OPEN.  Schedule a call to learn if this retreat is right for you!

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie
