Au Québec on risque de frapper un chevreuil, à Hawaï c'est les cyclistes qui cause problèmes!

Ironman Hawaï, 12 octobre 2008. Il faisait chaud et humide, malgré tout les meilleurs triathlètes du monde étaient tous là. Craig Alexander et Chrissie Wellington ont réussi l'impossible en emportant le 30ièm Ironman World Championship. Si c'est pas une démonstration de courage et de détermination, je sais pas ce que c'est! Bravo, vous êtes une inspiration pour des milliers d'athètles.
Un petit résumé : http://ironman.com/lee-gruenfeld-looks-back-on-the-2008-ford-ironman-world-championship-through-the-lens-of-a-camera

Je vous présente mon père Mario, il a réussi le demi-marathon de montréal en septembre.

Bravo dad!

Je suis fier de toi.

Après 5 jours de repos j'ai enfin recommencer l'entraînement. Il faisait tellement beau dehors pour allé courir. J'adore l'automne, les arbres, la température, mais par dessus tout, l'entraînement étais super aujourd'hui.

C'étais magique.

Rhume

J'ai le rhume depuis mardi... je prend 5 jours de congées pour relaxé et c'est vraiment dur. Je recommence à m'entraîner dimanche, en espérant que je serai complètement guéris de cette vilaine toux !
