Rockstar Triathlete: Humberto Ramirez
Coaches Notes:
I had never met Humberto before Ultimate Tricamp, but was so happy his sister encouraged him to join us.
In these cases, when an athlete is brand new to the coaches, we spend extra time evaluating their technique across all three sports and make sure to place them at a training level they can handle.
The exciting part is that the wins can sometimes be instantaneous, as was the case with Humberto.
I corrected his pedaling mechanics and pointed out that this could actually be the cause of his pain during the run.
So many triathletes believe triathlon training is all about swimming, biking, and running.
The problem is that if you don’t know how to swim, bike, or run WELL, you pretty much guarantee pain, then you get discouraged and think the sport is not for you!
My whole program is based on the opposite.
Train the skill, strength, and mobility FIRST, so the body can handle the repetitive movement of swimming, biking, and running.
It’s such a simple, overlooked concept that works 100% of the time.
Humberto benefited from these corrections and improved daily during camp.
Now he is motivated to keep going after camp- Welcome Humberto to my Performance Program on his way to a healthier lifestyle and a Triathlon in October with his family in Italy!
You are a Rockstar Triathlete, Humberto. Thanks for trusting Full Circle Coaching with your Journey!

Why did you choose Ultimate Tri Camp to help with your triathlon journey?
My sister had been training with Erinne for a couple of years. I saw her progress her enthusiasm and her discipline. It motivated me to give it a try.
Please share your BIG Goals and how Ultimate Tri Camp Supported you:
I would say my main goal is to regain the physical condition in which I was before. Ultimate Tri Camp supported me in several ways:
1) By showing me the multiple components to a well composed efficient training regime
2) Introducing me to the power of the group. It was very motivating to see all kinds of people striving to better themselves. Everybody caring about one another. It was very inspiring and motivating.
3) How critical it is to have knowledgeable instructors give you instant feedback. This helped me tremendously on the run and on the bike.
Tell me about your success so far:
I learned how to tackle hills… It was always my greatest challenge, but Erinne’s advice was priceless. I feel my power has improved and that just by adjusting my pedaling technique, “tap my abs” 🙂
Also, nutrition- I’ve always known but been too lazy to work on, is essential. I always thought I would never be able to eat veggies.
However, seeing this amazing group of people overcome much greater challenges made me realize that it has always been an excuse. Anything you set your mind to is possible.
What were some of your BIGGEST improvements in performance at Ultimate Tri Camp?
Just by changing running technique I was able to overcome the pain in my right knee. I also learned how to tackle climbs on the bike. I can now climb hills while controlling my heart rate and pace.
Did you achieve any personal records or goals?
My goal was to be able to- once again, run pain free. This is priceless!
Name 2 or 3 things that you feel will make the biggest difference in your triathlon performance after participating camp?
1) Stretching after workouts will help me stay healthier. Will prevent injuries and assist in the recovery.
2) Changing my nutrition will help me lose weight and become stronger faster.
I believe my performance improvements will allow me to increase my Triathlon distances and tackle more ambitious challenges… Ironman? who knows!!!
What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
The joy of sharing with others the experience of the race, the thrill of the wind in my face as I race on my bike. The phenomenal positive energy from everyone at the events.
What was your favorite part of Ultimate Tri Camp?
The camaraderie of the training group. It was a great feeling. I admire the strength of character of my Tri-camp buddies. They truly are: Rockstars!
What would you say to another person who was on the fence about attending Ultimate Tri Camp?
Open your mind. It does not matter how long you have been training. There are so many things to learn. And the phenomenal energy from the group is contagious. Don’t hesitate, no matter your background join us.
Will you be attending Ultimate Tri Camp again next year?
Yes!!! Already signed up.. (And I am dragging my wife!!!)
