MY SPORTING CHALLENGES IN 2015 

My 2014 did not go exactly as planned, and that's good.

That was the year I was supposed to be a working girl accomplished working 70 hours a week, trying to stall somehow my hours of CrossFit.

I still had some ambitions including:

• Making my first half marathon completed in 2:08 after a week of Fashion Week absolutely horrible not sleeping and not eating.

•  Make the OCC.: Here we will not lie, because of personal & professional requirements and an alarming lack of preparation, I preferred to postpone the adventure later.

• Try new sports: I tested the paddling, the bikram yoga, and fell in love with Thai boxing.

• Achieve my goals CrossFit: After a really intense start to the year, I finally calmed down the game with the arrival of summer and running which took a more important place than ever in my life. Moreover, speaking of running, I also improved my time on all distances, thanks to my training with #boostbastille!

• Make a foreign race: It's not done yet, but I run the next December 31 the We Run Rome  with some friends!

2015

I plan to train so much less instinctive because I set goals more important than ever.

1 / TRAIL & RACES in the mud

I am convinced that the trail is the future of running for me. The more time passes, the more I feel like running outside and doing vertical drop!

So this year I registered for the eco-trail of e Paris  (30 KM), and I intend to make the Spartan Race and perhaps the Mud Day!

Basically, you can expect lots of photos in the mud ...

2 / THE TRIATHLON

This is my big challenge 2015. My choice fell on the triathlon Deauville  will I do with my friendTheo! 

To start I took an Olympic distance triathlon c Ourte distance ie:

• 1.6 KM open sea swimming
• 40 KM bike
• 10 KM of running

Not too worry about cycling & running, however I am a little stressed by the idea of ​​swim a great distance at sea.

I found a firefighter coach / diver (Nico cuckoo!) To teach me to crawl properly, so, many workouts to come swimming pool. And chlorine, a lot of chlorine.

3 / MAKE SPORT ABROAD

I have itchy feet and want to test all the races and all European CrossFit box of right now.

Among the spots that try me for 2015:

• BERLIN

For the Airport Night Run  the principle of which is to run at night on airport runways & to go toMichel Berger  Hotel   (better name)!

• LISBON

For Rock'N'Roll Marathon,  to the tourist and cycling on the pista Ribeirinha.

• REYKJAVIK

For MIDNIGHT SUN RUN and especially to visit the box of Annie Thorisdottir champion CrossFit:CrossFit  Reykjavik!

• THE THAILAND

Especially to eat noodles all day with my friends and boxer of La Belle  Equipe! 

And you then, what's your biggest challenges for this year 2015?

ACCOUNT OF RACE: WERUNRME

Rather than spend New Year holed up at home in Paris, I decided with some friends to go to Rome this December 31 to spend the holidays, and go make a small 10K. Frankly, I had the coolest New Year!

Here is my account of race:

After a sunrise at 4:30 am, one rushes to the airport to take the first plane. After a beautiful flight with sunrise included (I have about 70 photos in my iPhone), we arrive in Rome in a polar cold.

Hours later, after recovering our bibs, we prepared from the race village. The atmosphere is very friendly, the village is located in a pretty nice stage, however it peels horribly. It is 0 ° -4 ° felt, and nothing to warm up. The Romans are more chilled than us, it was still 17 ° the previous week, they are super cutlery, hat, gloves, scarves to go running.

Departure is at 15h, it quickly joined the SAS. There are no strap so small grannies are found in the fastest SAS and it smells a little mess.

Since we're almost the last to arrive, the boys run into the SAS -50, girls in the SAS -60. We know that with the world, the course, the cold and lack of sleep, no part to make the performance ...

It quickly passes the start line, a huge yellow mass rushes through the streets of Rome. The atmosphere is super nice, no jostling and everyone laughs (and makes selfies, too many selfies).

However, it is a permanent slalom, quite frankly, and I spend the first few kilometers trying to go up a little the crowd to run at my pace.

The course is sublime, the time too. After two kilometers past to warm up to me & I'm starting to enjoy this moment, and I am clearly spent in tourist mode. I look at the scenery while listening to Cold War Kids  thoroughly. The mileage is not always well indicated (personally I saw the first marker in the 7th km but I'm a little blind).

Around the 5th kilometer you attack the rise of the Villa Borghese, with good ribs and lots of turns.This is an opportunity to speed up a little, but I especially enjoy the scenery and the weather.

The magnificent course will forget that no ravito, no ark to validate the breakthrough time, no barriers on the course, short one follows the movement and laughs but that's clearly not the organization French we know.

Black spot of the race: we find ourselves at a moment in a tunnel where the road is cut in two: one runs while car engines run, and it suffocates half. It was also at that time that a photographer of the race decides to follow me on a scooter and thus suffocate me even more (I think I threw him my most glaring good for 2 minutes).

The race, and around the 9th kilometer we return to the stadium, doing a few turns and then I pass the finish line at 53:49, super happy tourist mode and far from my PR.

Again, disappointment, ravito is fairly basic (water, a clementine, biscotti), no hot drinks and there will be nothing left for many runners who come after us. No medal either, they console themselves by thinking that shopping in Paris too well accustomed us.

We ask ourselves and made some photos and then quickly off again to our apartment

Overall I keep great memories. The course is crazy, the Romans are super nice and everyone in the street encouraged the runners with fervor.

The orga is incredible, but it's still a festive event than a race based around performance, so if you want to run next year, really go in a Zen state of mind 

Carbs after the race: D

Apart from that, Rome is a very nice city & to visit!

SYBELLES LIFE FIND THE SPORT (AND FALLING IN LOVE)

I had never heard of Sybelles few weeks ago, yet it is the 4th French ski area in terms of area with 6 stations connected.

Located in the South of Savoy, Maurienne Les Sybelles offer a huge field and plenty of fun activities to do in the winter, even for those who do not like skiing: snowshoeing, snowscoot,yooner ... Well being really ski I have not had the opportunity to test, but it has the air super fun!

Besides skiing, it is also open in the area of ​​production of the Beaufort, so the opportunity to go visit farms and production cellars & those who love the authentic local agriculture & side (or just if you want to receive calves matter).

It was the first time I went skiing with pals (yeah I'm a little girl her parents that you want), and it is very cool indeed, suddenly we were running in snow and evening anthology beach!

Why go to Sybelles:

• This is a very authentic area: some sightseeing, no large bars of tourist buildings, everything has been preserved and there is a real natural side even in the heart of the stations.

• The lifts are hyper modern: no old chairlift that you saw tendons or lift you off the ground that, all the facilities are new and work well (though not always fast enough for my taste)

• It is a little-known station of the public! 310km of track blow to navigate without queuing for lifts it's still nice!

Thank you for inviting me Sybelles & thank you to Lawrence for thinking of me as a big m hank you to my small travel companions for all the great times: Isabelle, Vincent, Theo & Flo!
