1 week to go

Still one week before the beginning of the world chmpionship. Today, i take rest. I went to the physio who did on me lots of manipulations, so i have to stay easy during all the day. Yesterday, USA, Colombia (in the same hotel as us), Korea arrived. I was one of the first spectators to see what is new in their teams : wheels, new skaters, taking time...
Now all the team is complete. The juniors arrived yesterday for the dinner. Day by day, the tension and stress is growing up till the D-day. This final straight line before the most important race of the year is tactic : secrets of wheels or trajectories. But in this sport competition mood, it's also the moment where you meet some friends of others countries. For my part, it's the moment where i can speak with all the skaters i met in Cali during my training camp this year. I'm happy to be with them in the same hotel even if they are a little bit loud.

Preparation in Gijon

We arrived one week ago with the french team. The goal is the track becomes "our house". For the first year, the french federation decided to leave earlier to train on a better way. For the first year also, we had to pay the trak to train ( 25euros/hour). Maybe it's the reason why there were not lots of countries 15 or 10 days before wolrds. During one week, we made tests, hard trainings, test wheels... to win what is doing the difference when we cross the line : the time. Training at this moment is like a fight against the time. Faster i will be, stronger i will be.
Today, it's a rest day but i prefer going to skate easy on the road to recover quickly of the three days tests we did between sunday and tuesday. Now, 8 days to go, we will start to recover more to be in shape.

Chaussettes BVsport / BV sport socks







Depuis quelques mois, j'ai un nouveau partenaire qui m'apporte réellement un plus dans ma vie quotidienne d'athlète. Il s'agit de BV Sport. Cette marque est spécialisée dans la conception de chaussettes de récupération. Pour vous éclairer, beaucoup se souviennent des grandes chaussettes que portaient les footballeurs français durant le mondial 1998, vues dans le reportage "Les yeux dans les bleux". Il s'agissait des débuts de la marque. Depuis, on a pu voir régulièrement des sportifs de nombreuses disciplines utilisés ces chaussettes. Il existe trois types de chaussettes : les "confort" pur la vie quotidienne, les "ProRecup" pour la récupération juste après les efforts et enfin les "Booster" pour l'effort. Merci à BV Sport de m'accompagner dans ma carrière sportive.
