Simply Triathlon with Dina & Chris
Welcome to the Simply Triathlon Podcast and thanks so much for listening!
We're Dina & Chris, a couple of age group triathletes, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts. Our goal is to share our knowledge and experience in triathlon, nutrition, epic races, lessons learned, fun stuff, hard stuff, bizarre stuff, and more!
Dina Grimaldi is a triathlon coach, nutrition coach, and personal trainer who followed her dad's footsteps in picking up triathlon. She quickly found out that it's not all that cool to be the first person out of the water, because it just means everybody and their mother is going to pass you on the bike.
Chris Kopcha is a triathlon coach, nutrition coach, personal trainer, and yoga teacher who kind of stumbled into the world of fitness after deciding to change careers after spending 10 years as a teacher. Coming into the sport of triathlon as a runner, she found it's been a great lesson in patience at the pool so as not to have to make up so much time on the bike and run.
Enjoy!!
**We do drop the occasional expletive; be aware if sensitive or listening around kids!**
Simply Triathlon with Dina & Chris
Staying in Your Own Lane, 100x100 Yard Swims, 108 Sun Salutations, Funny Christmas Stories, and More!
In this episode, we catch up a bit after our holiday break and share some stories - Dina's trip to CT, some bizarre stuff Chris has seen while out running, Dina's 100x100 swim and Chris's 108 sun salutations challenges, and a surprise event that happened to Chris.
We also touch on "staying in your own lane." It can be very easy, especially at the start of the year when we might be trying something new or restarting a hobby, to compare ourselves to either those around us or past versions of ourselves. We discuss the importance of sticking to our own plan, our own pace, and where we are right now in OUR chapter, not anyone else's.
Happy New Year!
