Rockstar Triathlete: Christine Coppola

— Age: 47 Profession: VP, HR Why did you choose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? FCC helped me through a comeback to triathlon, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. Mental strength and resilience is a huge part of marathon/channel swimming, and I feel like I am in good hands with Erinne/FCC to not only train the body, but also train the brain. What is your “A” race for this season? Done! Catalina Channel is done, but English Channel will be A race for 2025 What are your BIG goals? -Complete English Channel swim Sept 2025 – Completing this will earn me the Triple Crown in open water swimming (20 Bridges, Catalina Channel and English Channel are the 3 swims in the Triple Crown) – I would love to do the Oceans 7 and it would be a very long term goal. What were some of your most significant improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved. I was happy that even though I was training very long, I took the speed weeks seriously and when I did swim tests they always improved. I also got a little better about strength work but improvement area still for sure. Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey – Taking the time to recover – Allocating time for speed work – Hitting my long swims – Mental/focus What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? I think Erinne/FCC is flexible when it comes to changing goals. I went from trying to get back in shape and training for a marathon at first, to getting back to long distance tri, then pivoting to ocean swimming.
