PR-Collecting Richie Ganitsky Earns 2023 Male Rockstar Triathlete of the Year


Coach’s Notes:

Richie joined me one year ago as part of my Bring a Buddy week 2022.

He hesitated to join because he had so much experience; he was thinking, what more can I learn? Well, the answer is A LOT. He joined the signature 16-week Triathlon Transformation program and continued as a VIP alumni because of all of the positive results.

I love that Richie has an open mind to embrace the holistic lifestyle and nutrition information to make changes to improve his health and longevity and apply these principles to the training program. Increased energy, the ability to handle big training blocks, and all the technique work with video analysis and testing that we do to help him keep improving.

Congratulations on all your successes in 2023 – You truly deserve to be chosen as Full Circle Coaching’s Athlete of the Year, and I’m looking forward to hitting your sub 6 hours in your next 70.3 and so much more!

Next year, I’m looking to set more personal records, especially in the longer distance events such as the 70.3 half-Ironman.

Swim Alligator Lighthouse again, this time in a two-person relay.

Complete my transition to Xero barefoot running shoes.

Improve my technique all around at the upcoming Ultimate Tri Camp, especially biking the hills of Clermont.
