Back on training aiming for London spot

Hello everyone,

First I would like to thank you all for your support and messages after I collapsed during the Sydney WCS.
It happened again like in Kitzbuhel last year!
Following this health scare, I have spend 10 days in hospital with the best specialists to explore my full body.
Fortunately, they didn't find anything wrong with me apart from a strong vasovagal response!
The last few weeks have been pretty mentaly intense but I quickly went back to my momentum and training.
I am now sure to be healthy, I love triathlon and I really enjoy competing against the World's best.
I enjoy everything of what I am doing: A outdoor lifestyle, meeting new people and discovering the World through a challenging performance goal.

Apparently, to be a true champion you have to go through adversity, you have to be able to manage complicated situations and take opportunities when they come to you.

So I am back into my training, motivated to get back to good form building up towards London Olympic Qualification this August.
Cheers Laurent
