Coaches Notes:
Montse is a small but mighty forced to be reckoned with.
She came to me very strong as a Master Pilates Instructor and this definitely helped her progress quickly in Triathlon.
We started with Duathlon and she just completed her first Triathlon at the Integrity Sport 305 Sprint Tri and got 1st place age group.
She also just completed her first ever 1 mile ocean swim at World Ocean Day.
Montse says yes to every challenge in front of her as she now rides 50 + miles and runs 13.1
I’m super excited for our journey ahead – Montse you are such a Rockstar Triathlete.

Why did you choose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I met Erinne 1 year ago and loved the holistic approach and the spirit of Full Circle. I love the coaches energy and how much you learn from them. It is an amazing group of people! I wanted to keep improving my running and cycling and specially learning how to swim to be able to complete a triathlon. It was a win win for my training.
