My name is Hector Torres. I am the Head Coach with Tri Peak Athlete and the Central Florida Tri Club. Since 2018, I have been working with Intellectual Disable Athletes on developing them into the Triathlon sport within Florida. Since we have began, it has grown tremendously! The program started with four athletes and now we have 16 athletes. Our goal is to have at least 40 athletes on the starting line on the USA Games in 2022 held here in Orlando, FL. From these games, we will select the team that will represent us at the 2023 games in Berlin, Germany!
Chris Nikic, was one of the first group. One of his greatest accomplishments was completing Ironman Florida. #anythingispossible
With small steps we are changing the world and allowing the athletes with Intellectual Disabilities to be included in every sport! #inclusion
We know that the triathlon sport is very expensive; therefore, I need your help! I am collecting wetsuits, bikes, bike trainers and sneakers for these athletes. If you will like to donate and help this cause, I will greatly appreciate it!
You can donate them at:
Tri Peak Athelte
617 Virginia Dr. Orlando, FL 32803
Help me, help these athletes make a difference!
If you will like to donate wetsuits, bikes, or bike trainers. Please reach out to me.
This week we’re going to focus a lot on perceived exertion. Therefore when I ask for the efforts, please follow below:
Rate of Perceived Exertion Easy: Easy means easy. Moderate: Moderate effort means from a scale 1 to 10, I want you at five or six. Hard Effort: When I’m asking for hard/tempo effort I want you to scale from 1 to 10 I want you at seven or eight. Fast / Sprint: Go FAST but be smart and listen to your body!
Location: Tri Peak Athlete or via zoom. Address: 617 Virginia Dr, Orlando, Fl 32803

Healthy Snack Tip
Snack Time: 10 am or 3 pm
2 celery sticks
1 tbsp of peanut butter
Note:
Benefits of
Celery: Actually celery is one of the most alkaline foods you can eat! Research suggests that an alkaline diet lengthens life and prevents chronic diseases. Celery juice is highly nutritious. Celery is loaded with essential minerals and vitamins such as folate, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin K and vitamin C. (Gabrielle, 2020)
Peanut Butter: Jump to Potential Health Benefits of Peanut Butter — Improved Heart Health One of the main fats in peanut butter is oleic acid. When substituted for other fats in your diet, oleic acid is shown to help maintain good cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure. Managing these levels in your body can lower the risk of heart disease. Peanut butter also contains omega-6.
Please grace us with your presence in our annual Holiday Party. We will still be practicing social distancing and respect to others space. So if you are sick or have been compromised… don’t come!
