Happy Birthday to me...

Et voila, un an de plus! Et quelque kg en trop, pffff...
En tout cas, le gateau (tarte aux fruits rouges de Robuchon) etait excellente! A year older, a few kg heavier, that's today's menu along with this excellent Robuchon red fruit tart... I highly recommend it!

Sullivan, avec son bobo au doigt - il ne s'etait meme rendu compte qu'il avait laisse le doigt coince dans la portiere... Uniquement le manteau.

Sullivan also enjoyed the red fruits (only that). And notice his finger - one shouldn't close the car door on it, even by yourself...

Et donc un anniversaire sans Guerlain puisqu'il est parti hier en classe de neige... Plutot content, non? En tout cas, ca veut dire qu'il faut que l'on remette cela ce week-end avec lui!!!

Guerlain couldn't celebrate with us as he went yesterday to his ski trip. He looked quite happy about it, don't you think?

The good thing is that it's an excuse to celebrate again...

Entrainement

Reprise de l'entrainement, apres une semaine de fievre, courbatures, allergies, ... Bref, de lundi a vendredi, pas bien du tout. Et miracle, samedi matin, presque normal!
Les boys en train de courir...

After a crap week (flu? allergy? cold? all of the above?) I finaly made it back to training.

Here are the boys running.

I'm still out from that (foot hurts), and swimming (rib still raw).

May be that's why the scale read 77kg this morning! It's time to get back in shape!!

Et ce n'est meme pas marrant, mais Eric pese maintenant moins que moi! Enfin, ca devient facile a 77 kg!!

Fruit et St Valentin bizarres

Sullivan a trouve ce quartier de clementine un peu bizarre...
Sullivan thought this piece of Japanese Mikan (clementine) was pretty weird...

Mais ce l'est peut-etre moins que certains chocolats de la St Valentin, ici, en forme de sparadra...But even weirder is some of the chocolate available for St Valentine's day... Here under its Band Aid disguise!

Good job Hiro!

Good swim (1'33 average),
Good bike (over 34 km/h) with cool conditions they said, and wind picking up...
But incredible run (1'32!). We knew Hiro could run, but that's a blazzing time. And I can't imagine the feeling catching up almost 100 people!!! That's about 5 competitors passed every km!

Good job!

Ironman 70.3 Geelong & Hiro

Do keep track of Hiro this week-end. He's heading to Australia for an Half Ironman...
I'll give more details closer to the race (bib #,...). In the mean time do check the article (in Japanese) about him:
http://www.chap.co.jp/tabid/203/Default.aspx
Allez jeter un coup d'oeil sur le site ci-dessus: c'est un article sur notre copain Hiro. Il vient de partir pour l'Australie pour un semi Ironman.

And you can also check his site (link in my favorite) or below:

Vous pouvez allez sur son site. Toujours de belles photos pour accompagner le texte en japonais...

ALLEZ HIRO!!

Mise a jour corporelle

Bon, faisons le point:

A - Douleur au pied droit depuis ~ 4 mois... Toujours la, mais c'est pas casse, au bout du compte... Il faut que je prenne le temps d'aller chez le kine!

4 months later and still a foot pain. At least it's not broken but I need to make room in the agenda for therapy...

B - Cracked rib (again). And it's killing me in the back as well (spasm). Getting better though.

Cote felee (encore, je sais, je sais). On n'a pas idee de faire du snowboard avec l'appareil autour du cou! L'appareil va tres bien, merci.

Confidentiel: la baleine est de retour, a plus de 75 kg... Ca doit bon pour l'hydrodynamisme, en forme de patatoide!

Stop training and ask Paul what happens... I'm not expection: over 75 kg. My belly skin is well stretched!
