Full Circle Online Coaching Rockstar Triathlete Success Story Daniel Kaminstein

Daniel 1st place overall by 6 minutes at Hot Dam Olympic distance triathlon.

Meet Daniel Kaminstein, Full Circle Coaching Rockstar Triathlete
Age: 39

Profession: Emergency Medicine Physician

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I was looking for a coach who would help me with more than just fitness goals. I liked the approach and attitude that FCC advertised. In addition the base of oppositions in Miami means that I can train in person once a year.

What is your “A” race for this season? Hot Dam Triathlon – Evans Georgia

Please share your BIG goals: Being a great father to my three children. Becoming a more well rounded triathlete. Becoming competitive on a national level in my age group.

Tell me about your successes so far: My kids love coming to watch me race and my oldest has already raced in two kids triathlons. Top two in my age group in every race this season. Several top 5 finishes overall. First overall by 6 minutes in my A race for this season.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following?
Swim: Racing the swim rather then just using it as a warmup for the bike.
Bike: Using power to make major gains in speed.
Run: Stronger faster run off the bike
Nutrition/Health: Less carbs and more protein left me feeling much better during training and racing.

Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved: First overall in my “A” Olympic distance race.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: Power Meter. High intensity training sets.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? Getting to inspire my three boys to be active.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? You can be a competitive triathlete without coaching but to really make significant advances you need someone on the outside who can give shape to your training and point you in the right direction.

Coach Erinne’s Notes:
As part of Full Circle’s VIP ONLINE Training Program, Daniel has really rocked his 2016 tri season. He reached out after the Ride On Ryan Tri, not sure if coaching would benefit him since he already placed 3rd overall. He lives in Georgia so online coaching was our only option but as you can see from his amazing results the coaching still works. Being a doctor, having a wife and 3 small sons makes the efficiency of training even more important. Learning to train with power and intervals was the key to improving his already impressive speed. I am super proud of his results and can’t wait to see what 2017 brings as he is racing National’s in August with a goal of qualifying for World’s. Thanks for trusting the process Daniel, you are an awesome Rockstar Triathlete!!

PLAN Your Race & RACE Your Plan

This coming week is about getting mentally and physically prepared for race day.

Not much fitness can be gained between now and Race Day on Sunday.

I encourage all my athletes to write out a race plan. Starting from Saturday morning before the race, to the end of the race and even post-race recovery strategies.

I ask them to include everything they plan to do to prepare for the race, what they will eat, how much sleep and any other important details. It is all written out in a positive light, especially the race itself.

After you have written it out you can close your eyes and visualize the race scenario exactly as you want it to go many times before the race start. By positive I mean like this: “I will start off to the side of the main swim pack and duck dive under the waves, repeating my mantra (reach for the buoy). I will sight every 5 strokes to stay on course. If I get out of breath I will roll over on my back to breath for 5 breaths and roll back to swim, kick and breath.”

Avoid the negative thoughts by thinking “I won’t get a flat and I won’t walk.” Instead say “I will run the entire portion of the run course” or “I will change my flat quickly if it happens.”

If you don’t know how to change a flat, get to the bike store this week and ask them to show you. It is very easy. Also, check your bike tires for any gashes that could potentially lead to a flat.
