Last week, I have been pushing myself very hard at the pool. I am now at the speed of the Squad. With more lanes and better swimmers in my lane, it is a real pleasure to race them. There seems to be a consensus about extra lanes now. I am partially responsible for these lanes […]

and I am still awake! Swimming will suck tomorrow morning and then I have class at 10 am so I cannot even sleep a bit to recover. I really feel like skipping Unfair Competition but it is before the other class and it would be strange to skip one and not the other one. Someone, […]

I have received today an email from my old friend, Herve M. He is a good friend from my time at CPE Lyon, my engineering school. We typically write to each other every year or so just to see how things are going.  A typical french man: funny, easy going, quite optimistic in life and […]

Finally!

The day has finally come where the stupid admin at the pool opens TWO extra lanes. I cannot believe it took them that long. It is such a stupid thing. We had lanes 5 and 6 completely open today. Too many people!  I really hope it will become a normal trend. I always wonder why […]

I estimated today my swimming time and it is not bad at all.  I swim 6 kms between one hour and 37 or 42 min everyday. That means an average speed of 48.2 sec or 51 sec which is very decent for an amateur. To be compared to the squad performance, I would not be […]

I am feeling a bit sick today. The pool was closed on Saturday so I had two days of rest since I do not swim on Wednesday. Amy came back on Wednesday morning. She has organized tons of trips for the next 3 weeks an then she will spend one month home for Easter Break. […]

I’ve spent the whole day playing this old game. The pool was closed because they have some technical issues. I went back home at 6:30 am… not funny! Amy is supposed to come back today but I have not seen her. I guess she is staying longer in Germany.

I had flashbacks last night. I was at  Hoche in Versailles again. If I ever have to describe this period of my life, I’d say it was hell on Earth. This preparation school was simply a waste of my lifetime. Bad night and bad day! I hardly had 3 hours of sleep and the swim […]

In one word: BORING! Nothing exciting this weekend. I helped Malinda with her new MacBook Pro on Friday, it took me some times but I quickly got used to MacOS. They are extremely well organized and have made life so easy for people who use them!  I will buy a Mac someday, when I have […]
