next week end we both race in the world cup, so nice, i will just race 1000m this week end thinking of getting more ready for berlin and hamar.

6m42 in berlin

last week end i was in berlin, for little racing with benjamin, mathilde and sara. i skate 6m42 which is almost my best time ever in 5km in europe...so strange with so little ice training...but COOL.
sara also qualified 4m21....juhu...
and benjamin too...
mathilde race good with 4M33 so 2àsec faster than 2weeks ago...

one more week before going back to heerenveen for some more training with the "new" french long track team. tristan still as coach will be with a total of 12 skaters next week...cool. it will be ni
now, biking, running and jumping trying to get more condition. good point is that weather in toulouse is still good, no it's nice change compare to holland weather^^.

ce to skate with benjamin again...and soon also with alexis

medical test^^

this week i did my medical test. it s a serie of test to check the health of athlete that we have to do in france 2 or 3 times a year. sometimes we get interesting information to follow our shape.
good news this year is that i m 5kg lighter than last year at the same period and 3% less fat. it show me i eat better. good food is important for sport and last year i made mistake on this topics.
it s also probably a good reason why i was feeling better on the ice last week.

my heart rate when i rest was 44...which is also good. normally my lowest is 36 and my max is 209...

im still 183cm high^^ small chance that this value except when i will get too old...but not yet as some people try to make me feel^^ (not my friends^^)

blood value, i didn t get them yet...may be in few days.

6m49.13

and the result is 6m49.13...which is good as i needed to do under 6m50...
i couldn't really do faster after just 5days on the ice but important point is done, i did minimum standard for world cup.

1st test of season 2010 2011

after a week on the ice, it's time for a 5km test tonight. main goal this season is to have a good team poursuit for france...
tristan loy is now main coach and we have new coming skaters...

more coming soon^^

training
