Winter training with Enduro French Team

Hi everybody!

I arrived on Monday afternoon for a week of hardcore training with the French Enduro Team at Font Romeu, a little ski station in the Pyrénée.

Tuesday we started with  one and half hour of swimming, two hours of body building and after lunch we went for a little walk of two and half hours through the mountain. Then we had a two hours sky skating- lesson and racing games! It was really funny.

After dinner we had our ritual Volleyball game and Stretching.

 

Today Wednesday, we started for a long tour with raquette shoes, SEVEN hours. We climbed until 2700 meters high and we crossed two dangerous walls, with frozen snow- very steep and deep, one wrong move and it would be a catastrophe!!! there was no place for a small mistake...

Thursday: 6:30am in the swimming pool for 1000 meters of warm up then we played Water Polo.

It's the first time I was doing it , it's a intense sport, you have to keep swimming non stop, be focus on the ball and fight to keep it!

After breakfast we went directly for couple hours in the body building room and finish this first part of the day with stretching.

Little "SIESTA" after lunch to start the second part...





The end of the week was very intense with swimming, body building, badminton, Volley Ball and of course skiing.

Friday and Saturday we went all around the ski station and all the way up the sky tracks.

We was the only ones going up with the ski!!! and at night we went Bowling and drink a Beer to celebrate Chritohe Nambotin Birthday.

Now I'm back home for a quiete week end with my Fiançé and I will go back on the bike Monday.

Thank you to Fred Weil to organize every year this wonderfull hard week in Font Romeu and Thank you all for following.

I will put some nice riding pictures during the week...
