“This has been a great year” Rockstar Triathlete: Enrique Raphael

by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS

Rockstar Triathlete: Enrique Raphael

Coach’s Notes:

Enrique’s journey has been truly inspirational!

Definitely not a straight shot to the top, with a hamstring injury and a twisted ankle, he now knows how to listen to his body and train in a way that allows him to keep improving race after race. Losing 20 lb’s is also an added bonus!

From his first time on the podium in short course racing last year, his success at Ultimate Tri Camp in March and now his very first 70.3.

Although the swim was cancelled he delivered exactly as was expected for the bike and run, averaging 21 MPH for the 56 bike and 10 min/ miles for the 13.1.

Congratulations Enrique… let’s get the sub 6 hour 70.3 in the books this year. You are a Rockstar Triathlete!

Age:

I will be 59 this year

Profession:

Engineer

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

I met Erinne few years ago and I did the Swim Essentials and it was a good experience, then last year I decided to take triathlon more seriously registering for the NYC triathlon and I contacted her again; we went over the six month Triathlon Transformation Program and I became part of the FCC Tribe!

It has been an incredible year and I culminated it with the 70.3 Gulf Coast this past weekend.

What is your “A” race for this season?

My “A” race was the 70.3 this past weekend; now I have to think about the next one; probably another 70.3 this year.

Please share your BIG goals:

After racing in Panama City, I am sure I can complete a 70.3 in less than 6 hours if I keep working and improving my technique and fitness; this is a sport of consistency and continuous learning!

Tell me about your successes so far:

This has been a great year; I was able to go from completing a Sprint Race back in May 2021 to the 70.3 last weekend.

Beyond the races I can say the major success is that I feel great, I am healthy and I am blessed with the life I have and the people I share it with.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

Now I feel very confident swimming long distances in open water, I believe I am stronger on the bike, I have improved my running technique a lot and I have made some changes to my nutrition and my lifestyle because of all that I have learned through the year.

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

  1. Being part of a team makes a big difference; besides all what we get from the coaches, everybody in the team adds value to your training with comments, recommendations, etc.
  2. Following a well designed program based on your capabilities and measuring your progress is key in improving your performance
  3. What we learn beyond the training: Nutrition, sleep, meditation, yoga, etc.; all are game changers!

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

It is always something to learn, it is always a new challenge, It is always competing against yourself to be better, and despite being a one person sport, you are always surrounded and sharing with excellent people with the same kind of mentality and objectives.

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

If you are committed to improving your health, your lifestyle and you are competitive, you are in the right place to join a great group of people thriving for the same.

I’m shocked at how I feel in the water: Swim Testimonial, Frantz Dunel

I’m shocked at how I feel in the water: Swim Testimonial, Frantz Dunel

Coach’s Notes:
Frantz has come a very long way in the swim. Already a very strong runner, we started training for a sprint triathlon.

The swim was definitely his limiter. Being so strong, it can sometimes be difficult to learn that in the swim its all about being SMOOTH, and not pushing hard. After joining my Swim Essentials program and learning the step by step progression of learning how to swim freestyle for triathlon, Frantz has learned how to glide and relax more in the water so he can save energy to then be able to bike and run strong.

Congratulations Frantz, you are officially a SWIMMER!

Why did you want to learn to swim?
1) Well I never knew that I didn’t know how to swim SWIM until FC asked me to swim a few laps in the pool. Jumping off a boat and waddling around for a few minutes or a few strokes to the edge of the pool is not real swimming is what I realized. I wanted to learn the proper technique to further challenge myself, be able to compete in triathlons and to continue being as well rounded as possible for my kids. We live in Miami, we are always traveling to beach destinations or in a pool. Swimming is critical.

What was the hardest part in the process?
2) The hardest part was overcoming the mindset that it was impossible for me to become a swimmer because I had not been doing it for 10+ years like the rest of the group or swimmers at the pool. Swimming I have found to be one of the most challenging sports because it is extremely technical. I found and still find it difficult to put all the pieces together in order to swim “effortlessly”…balance, proper pull, full rotation on the side for breathing, long reach, straight legs and kicking from the hips etc etc.

How does it feel different in the water vs 6 months ago?
3) I am proud and somewhat shocked at how I feel in the water today vs 6 months ago. Aside from the exhausting swim workouts, I genuinely look forward to getting in the water as I feel much more comfortable and confident. As I swim my laps I can hear Coach Erinne in my head and I use that to correct my form, slow down and try and glide vs a frantic gasping for my next breath.

I look forward to moving up to the Olympic distance in May!

Nutrition is a Key Component on Race Day

Nutrition is a Key Component on Race Day

Nutrition is a key component of a race. And daily nutrition supports race day nutrition. 

If you are still a little foggy about your own personal nutrition strategy for life and performance, check out my Nutrition Essentials Program.

My holistic Nutrition Program literally saved my career in triathlon and actually my life. I was eating all the wrong foods for me based on what I was taught in higher education nutrition programs and it pretty much nearly killed me!

This is why I include nutrition as an essential part of all of my athlete’s training programs.

So,  jump on in if you’ve not learned all you can about your personal nutrition journey. All the details of what’s included are in the link.

Are you are a little foggy about your nutrition? I have a few spots left for my 6 week Nutrition Essentials course… Starts tomorrow! Register HERE or schedule a call with me if you have any questions.

Rockstar Nutrition: Christine Coppola

Coach’s comments:

Christine is a rockstar triathlete who has completed half and full Ironmans but had gotten out of a training/eating rhythm that worked well for her.

I was thrilled when she wanted to learn more about how to approach training, racing and her lifestyle from a more holistic approach by joining my Nutrition Essentials

She is also a busy mom to a 4 year old, loving wife and successful executive with NBC. In other words busy and on the go!

Her success below is awesome because she didn’t force it or rush it.

She realized that small changes made over time had the best outcome.

She didn’t make every call and only attended for 30 minutes sometimes but went back and listened later when she had time.

With the online platform that is included you have all the information at your fingertips to use a resource on your own time. This is how it has to happen sometimes! And that is OK.

Sometimes to achieve the results we desire it takes a little longer, but the changes stick! You take the information given and tweak it to work for you all with my guidance and support!

So proud of you for all your hard work and success. Let’s keep it going on the way to your next big DREAM!

What positive results did you achieve during your Nutrition Essentials Course?

I was able to eat clean, drink more water and be more cognizant of my overall well being. I also learned a lot!

Did you lose weight or gain according to your desired goal?

Yes!

If you lost or gained weight, how much?

9 lbs

Was the program every thing you expected? Please explain:

Yes – it was actually more than I expected!

Did your thoughts about what is possible for your lifestyle change?

Definitely. It seemed so daunting and complicated when I tried to make changes alone, but this helped me break it down into manageable pieces. It also provided a forum to ask questions.

What was the easiest thing to implement and what did you have the most trouble with?

More water, less sugar, eating more balanced were easiest. I am still catching up/re reading on supplements info.

Did your sleep pattern improve?

Yes

Are you continuing to hydrate properly?

Yes

What specific changes in your nutrition did you make?

I stopped using creamer in my coffee, went from 16 oz a day to 8 oz a day and using recipe for brain boost coffee. I am drinking more water. I am also using the approved foods list to shop and prep meals. Also not buying food with lots of ingredients and really checking sugar.

Would you recommend this course to others?

Definitely

Did you clean up your toxic load? Please explain:

I am working on it! Starting with cleaning products then makeup hair etc.

How to Eliminate Excuses

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

How to Eliminate Excuses

When we were kids, we could find excuses for anything, right?

For not going to bed on time.

For fighting with siblings.

For not getting homework done.

As adults, we’ve learned to take responsibility for our actions and failures – at least most of the time. But there’s always a supply of excuses waiting within reach whenever we want to use one, including about our health and fitness. 

Your spouse, your kids, the traffic.

Your boss.

Your biorhythms.

On and on…

So how do we get rid of this childhood habit once and for all?

Here are some of my best ideas.

1.     Realize you’re only hurting yourself when you find a scapegoat. It doesn’t hurt the coach, your significant other, your doctor … anyone else.

2.     Let go of the persecution complex. Traffic doesn’t happen to just you. Everyone’s boss throws a wrench in their plans sometimes. Nobody “feels like it” all the time, even those who seem divinely motivated to make it look easy.

3.     Stop comparing yourself to others. It only sets you up to feel “less than” and not good enough, which undermines your motivation and negative self-talk.

4.     Seek inspiration from others who keep getting up every time they fall. This can be someone at work, a friend at the gym, or even a figure in fiction. 

5.     Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses alike. Let’s say you’re good at getting to the gym on time, but you don’t work as hard as you want. OK – great! How can you build on that? Work out with a friend or trainer, take a group class, or meditate for a few moments before you walk in? What you don’t want to do: Tell yourself it’s someone else’s fault that you’re not quite hitting it.

6.     Scratch the surface. What’s underneath the need to make an excuse? Are you afraid of something? Feeling insecure or intimidated? Whatever it is, a little introspection can help identify the source, and from there, you’re closer to eliminating it.

7.     Repeat success. When something works for you, repeat it. Think about why – and how you can apply the lesson elsewhere.

I’d love for you to hit reply and let me know which tip is most helpful!

Want some guidance and support with this?

Rockstar Triathlete Matthew Kuscher

Rockstar Triathlete Matthew Kuscher

Coach’s Notes: Matt reached out to me after seeing one of our own- Jenny Lee Molina complete her first triathlon with us using our Beginner Triathlon Program.

He had zero experience in swim, bike or run. We got to work with evaluations first to assess any weaknesses, and find him a bike- which he borrowed from one of my other athletes (Thanks Jesse Jimenez!)

Due to the nature of the restaurant business and late nights, he could not make the early morning group training sessions, so we trained 1 on 1.

This is a great way to get the focused attention to learn to swim, bike and run quickly. After just 8 weeks he accomplished his goal 2 triathlons with a smile on his face, leaner healthier body.

Matt’s best compliment came when he said” I hate this stuff but for some reason I am enjoying the process so you must be doing something right!”

Thanks Matt for trusting us with your triathlon journey. CAn’t wait to see what’s next!

Age: 43

Profession: Restaurateur 

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I was inspired by my friend Jenny Lee Molina and her journey to her first triathlon with Full Circle Coaching on social media.

What is your “A” race for this season? My A race was just to complete my 1st triathlon. I did the Huntington’s disease race in February as a C race, (training race) and then the Clash Sprint Triathlon a few weeks later.

Please share your BIG goals: To start my journey of a healthier lifestyle

Tell me about your successes so far: I have completed 2 and have plans to complete two more by mid summer.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

My 1st swim was very tough in the Huntington’s sprint triathlon, so I trained a little extra in the ocean and by my 2nd race, my swim was the easiest part even though it was twice the distance of the first race. I was proud of myself for that.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1. A healthier diet
2. Accountability; having a coach push me to make sure I don’t slack.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
I never thought in a million years, I would do this kind of training and that’s what excites and motivates me to do it more. It’s still so foreign to me and that’s exciting.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? 
It’s great because you mix it up, you don’t have to love running, swimming or cycling but if you like each a little then every day you get to switch it up. I love not training the same thing every day so it never feels boring!

You are the secret to your own success!

You are the secret to your own success!

I had a 1-on-1 run evaluation this week with a person who is struggling with their running after being TOLD they have this, they have that, they should never run, etc, etc, etc…

We got through the session identifying some core reasons why they are in pain and how to proceed in a safe manner to achieve the goal of getting back to running.

She thanked me (which I greatly appreciate) by saying that I may be the secret to her success.

I reminded her that SHE is the secret to her own success.

NO ONE ELSE CAN BE THAT FOR YOU!

It’s now time for her to do the stretching and strengthening and start the journey to her own recovery.

If she does or doesn’t it’s up to her, but we (the FC team) are here to support her journey!

ANYTHING is possible if you choose to believe that it is. If you are seeking out a solution you will find it. If it doesn’t feel right or make sense look for another solution that you vibe with, but there is a solution to every single problem.

Most people go to the doctor and take their advice as a last rite and it simply isn’t.

I read about a man who healed himself from being a paraplegic after 5 years in a pool visualizing the connections regrowing in his body to get his limbs to move again!

That’s called never giving up and being determined to find a solution that worked for him!

I don’t even want you to take my advice as anything more than something you should try to see if it works for you (P.S. It does!;))

You are the one that has to decide what works and doesn’t work for you, not me, not the doctor, not Joe down the street.

Your experience is different from every other person on the planet, BUT others have had what you have and healed from it, you are not a special snow flake!

You can learn from others by finding someone that has done what you want to do and see if it works for you!

Nutrition and lifestyle can be a HUGE factor in your success.

That is why I include this training in my coaching program for triathlon.

Happy Training!

How To Fall In Love With Healthy Living

How To Fall In Love With Healthy Living

Ah, springtime and thoughts turn to falling in love…

∙      The fresh sense of discovery when you’re excited by the newness of it all.

∙      The rush of endorphins.

∙      That sense of belonging that you just know will last forever.

And here’s the kicker: I’m not talking about falling in love with another person!

I’m talking about falling in love with being healthy.

∙      With taking daily actions to improve your body and mind.

∙      With feeling good every time you exercise, eat right, and get a good night’s sleep.

∙      With knowing that you’ve found a path and other people you will enjoy for a long time.

Seriously! It’s true. You can fall in love with healthy living just like you might talk about “falling in love” with a job, a hobby, and – yes – even a special someone.

First of all, open your mind and your heart to the possibilities. Forget about negative experiences in the past. 

Second, when you find something that you enjoy doing, keep doing it! Don’t focus on what you “should be” doing instead. When you find the right one, trust your heart.

Third, nurture this affection with honest self-appraisal and solid reliability. That means you support yourself with loving tenderness and commitment to what you’re doing.

Fourth, accept there will be struggles. And believe it’ll all be worth it.

Fifth, smile! Be proud of what you’re doing and how great you feel and look. 

You got this!

Rockstar Ultimate Tri-Camper: Nienke Vernhout

Rockstar Ultimate Tri-Camper: Nienke Vernhout

Coach’s Notes:

Please watch our live interview for more details all about Nienke’s journey in the last 6 months.

Talk about TRANSFORMATION! I could not be more proud of her accomplishments in mind, body, and spirit.

Nienke is the perfect example of what’s possible if you take that leap and commit to yourself in a new way- you just may be blown away, discovering what you are truly capable of!!!

It’s official you are a ROCKSTAR TRIATHLETE!

Why did you come to Ultimate Tri Camp?

To revive ME. After my first triathlon in Dec 2021, I had a setback due to heavy COVID. My 4yo also caught it, and after COVID, we both had such a terrible immune system that we kept getting bug after bug.

After two months, I realized I needed to step out of this repetitive negative circle. And Ultimate Tri Camp was the perfect getaway. 

What were your “3” big takeaways?

When I signed up for Ultimate Tri Camp, I was convinced that I had way too low energy and fitness to participate in all activities and workouts.

My goal was to experience as much as possible, do at least one exercise per day, sleep, and recharge. But the moment I arrived, I stepped into this high-energy circle filled with unique and inspiring people, each with their own story and battles, and this energy instantly caught on me.

I learned that I had this Cenote filled with this great power hidden under the heavyweight of last months.

And that my body was capable of so much more. With every activity and workout, yes, my body got more heavy but grounded, and my mind became clear.

I’m very proud to say I ended up participating in all activities and workouts. And after the Camp, my body was exhausted, but it was such a satisfying feeling of tired.

Here they are:

1. Camp is also for beginners. No fitness, no problem, you will 1000% be able to participate in all activities and workouts, and you will come back stronger than ever.

2. You are capable of so much more than you think. And if you doubt it, the coaches and the amazing people of camp will help you realize this.

3. Triathlon is as much a physical as a mental challenge. The mix between workouts and the inspiring information from guest speakers, coaches, and other campers was perfect and made this a wholesome experience for body and mind.

Are you coming back next year?

Is this even a question?

The Past Does Not Impact What You Can Create In The Future

The Past Does Not Impact What You Can Create In The Future

I believe you can do whatever you set your mind to do.

Call me crazy, but I do. 

But if you want to learn a new skill, train and cross the finish line in a triathlon or Ironman, change careers, or start exercising and eating right, then trust me: You can.

Starting today, no matter what your experiences have been.

At least once a week, I talk to someone who tells me they can’t start exercising or eating right because they’ve tried in the past and always failed.

I get it. I understand that it’s hard to try again after stumbling once, twice, or even several times.

But we’ve all heard the saying: Fall seven times, get up eight.

We all can remember learning something on the second, third or fourth try that now seems like second nature.

We’ve all seen other people overcome challenges that stumped them before.

Look, that’s just life. We don’t get everything right away. We’re not immediately good at everything we try. It always looks easy when other people do it.

So, let me repeat it: You can do whatever you set your mind to. If you want to do a triathlon, start exercising and eating right, I’m here to help you do it.
