Cancer Ribbon Melanoma

Chtriman by all the emotions ...


12:00 on an air AC / DC

's go for a 2km swim turbulent start, rub it, especially after narrowing 300m swim. I quickly found my rhythm and puts me in a package where it swims very well.

At half lap I decided to accelerate and take the package in hand, I can go back to another triathlete and a ghost behind me will testify.

I leave water in 28 min 17 in 11th position with 3 minutes 15 behind the head.

time being windy, chilly and company I decide to go with a bike jersey, I put on the headphones and go for a lot of cranks in the Cambrai.

After 25 miles I found myself in 2nd position by continuing to scrounge seconds on the head.
But it was too good to last: flat hose, I stop, get out the pit stop and fills everything. Bad decision, I had to change the hose directly. After 10 kms
here I am back to flat, and then change hoses, one remains calm and we will be able to leave. Hoses changed, so here we go I am beginning the final round with 5 min delay on the head.

must stay focused and good news: wind down. I quickly found myself in third place, I go to the park in 3rd.

Cycling in 2:24:34 with stops to repair sympathetic (2:19 to 5 minutes of GPS is lost, there is some progress to make in respect of compensation:) and 91.7 kms)

I begin running with 2min15 behind, I do not think and go to block, we'll see whether it holds or not ^ ^

After 5kms I take full Chtriman head, encourages Stéphane who just head and not loose anything (it will run the marathon in 3:03 just huge Bravo!)

Prime Kilo 3min20, 3min30 then I oscillate between-40 during the first 10 km.
Shortly before the end of the first lap, I caught up with Raoul Lavaut, and began the final round with 1min behind the guy from Versailles (thank you to all the relatives and friends on the roadside for the encouragement!! ).
I have a focus with the bike opener in neon yellow, it starts to become difficult, thighs begin to burn and cardiac drift begins.

I approach the half round, I'll be able to make the point, I have only one hundred meters behind the first: do not be disunited and continue like this I find myself
height to 3 kilometers from the finish. I spend it as quickly as possible (it should take immediately the psychological edge) and it works.

2km from the finish, I feel victory approaching the final straight, winning, goal of the year reached.

Semi 1:18:29 ET performed best time course for 21.22 miles Time GPS

this final half-Chtriman = 4:13:38

icing on the cake: Stephanie victory in the long, bravo !!!!!

Moral of the story: as the line is crossed, everything is possible!

A big thank you to Christopher Legrand for this organization

Now for a place at the Recycling Gerardmer Saturday, September 4.

Rubber Ducky Invitations Wording

Triathlon Triathlon Gileppe

Here I am, in this Sunday, August 8, left for a triathlon in Gileppe dam a few miles from Liege.


Start at 14H for 2 laps of 750m, it goes fast, very fast, I get a get a good start and good feet, it goes quickly and there are already out of the water, and here we go for a good stiff climb well to reach the park by bike, I reach in 13th position.




swimming 20'17 "with the boss to get to the park and 1650m



Released 10th in the park (already earned 3 places).'s Go for 46.9 km the Ardennes countryside, head for the roof of Belgium, the course is not easy, nice bump, long climbs (I spent quite some time on the 39), shortly before reaching the summit of the trail I point at second position, now up to long runs ( now it's 11 heats), I do not see the first, it will be difficult to take time ...

About ten kilometers to go back again a few bumps and rain (in full flush mode), I do not take the risk, and keep trying to run strong.

I get to park in 2nd position and with the fastest bike

1:15:38 bike for 46.97 km

I leave the park and see him off the race lead, the circuit consists of two return trips of 5 km, which will allow me to cross the human head, trying to maintain a steady pace and, after 5km race I point to the first 1min, everything is still playable, at the half turn (2.5 km from the finish) I only have a handful of seconds, I give everything up to the arrival, last mile, I put everything I have left and come to die 4s victory.

I have no regrets I've given everything that is the main, thank you all for your support;)



Cape 35'44 " to 10.07 km

a triathlon in a natural setting, a tough bike course, a race to do!
