In other terms that means throwing things away for me! I gave a bottle of Cognac to the swim coach, he seems to appreciate the unexpected gift. My left shoulder is a bit painful because I have been pushing myself too much to compete with some fast kids at the pool! I bought a Casio […]

Recovery weekend!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
I had a lot of sleep. It was a nice and quiet weekend. Last week I was mainly sick. The swims were a bit painful because the weather is getting colder as well. There is an annoying old man who tried to be in the same lane as mine. I really don’t like him because […]

My last science presentation!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
It felt good to finish the last and probably the most painful exercise in my postdoc career. These meetings and presentations are very stressful! I had two good questions from an unexpected professor. That’s it! Now the road is leading to an end. Next year by this time, I will have hopefully a different career!

The countdown has started! I had a fantastic swim this morning with 3 other people in the fast lane. All about the same speed and I setup the pace. One guy was stronger and faster but he did not last. So he could not catch up with me. New people are joining the pool as […]

A good swim!

Despite a hard night! I couldn’t sleep well…heat, noise, beers. I noticed that a good swimmer has been using my rhythm as a target. He always starts at the same time I reach his end and tries to catch me. I gave him hard time today…It took him 11 laps= 1.1 km to equalize and […]
