Big races coming up/ 10th in Dunkerque FGP

Bonjour,

I just finished a 5 week block of training and I am now leading up to Madrid WCS next week.
I achieved some great sessions and have done a massive amount of work.
I feel very good despite a bit of muscle tightness.

At the moment I am on a block where I am building up my tresholds and this is demanding training so it is impossible to keep the massive hours of the base training.
There is time for everything!

I also finished 10th in Dunkerque French Grand Prix, I could have done better as I dropped back one group on the bike losing 30 seconds after a plastic bag got caught in my chain ring.

Anyway, I had one of the fastest run there but still a bit slower than the Brownlee Brothers who finished 1st and 2nd.

It's always great to race with the Lagardere team alongside cool athletes such as Will Clarke , Jamie Huggett, Ryan Sissons, David Hauss, Steffen Justus or James Elvery.
Next stop: Madrid.

Cheers

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
