Catalina Classic 2017 : A Family Journey - Duration: 7:43.

I really hope i'll do a good race

reach my goals

and be at the front of the leaderboard.

What scares me is : get cold,

make me follow by a shark

being forced to stop for any physical reason

There's many things that scare me before departure

but i'm sure that during the race i'll be strong enough mentally to keep going.

The race is tomorrow so pression is pumping when you see all the paddlers arriving on the island, training...

there's many people and everybody is certainly well prepared, so it will be hard.

We really trained hard this year, we followed a Mick Di Betta's training schedule...

a paddleboard legend

We trained really hard, we really worked

I hope it will pay off

At least i want to be in the TOP 10 of my division ("Stock")...

there i'd be about happy

but to be fully satisfied i want to reach the TOP 6, that's what i really want !

"The stress goes up ?"

"Damn yes !!!"

"Final preparation and then... having a shower."

"We freak out ! That's tomorrow, tomorrow morning."

"Wake up 4 a.m"

"Briefing 5 a.m"

"Then 6 a.m : START. Fxxxxg finally, tired of waiting !"

Breakfast, here it is.

Start is in 2 hours.

We had such an horrible night,

an unbelievable crappy night, we did shake so hard.

But well ! That's not important, it's going to do.

So, Catalina Classic 2017 was 3 days ago,

we took few days to recover and now we'll try to make result.

It was really "brutal", that's the most difficult race i have ever paddled.

Physically it was terrible but the worst was mentally, it was so slow,

we had an unbelievable current in the face from the beginning to the end.

We had side wind and side bumps, choppy waters, it was horrible !!!

So, little come back on the "Catalina", we prepared this race during several months, it was the goal of the year.

I was thinking to this race every mornings when i wake up and on the way to training.

Start by night with more than 100 paddlers on the beach, it was really impressive.

Start is on, everybody's paddling hard, we are surrounded by escorts boats.

I really think it's the best moment of the all race, that's what remains in my head

i still had no cold !!!

I tell myself i didn't paddle that bad. Bad start, I pay !

During the race i didn't know where i was on the leaderboard,

i was suffering and i thought i missed my race, it was so slow !!!

After 1 hour i started to get cold, i was hoping for sun. So it was 7 a.m, in general sun comes up later.

After 2 hours i was really cold, sun still wasn't there however the wind rose, up wind, not fair !

I was colder and colder, my jaw was clutching, i had cramps due to cold, i was paralysed.

Tough race, but i'm still happy to finish in the pack with all the best,

that's a beautiful satisfaction, especially after all the work we've done this year.

Till the time i started to puke and i told myself it's more worthwhile to resist,

i paddle for 4 hours and still no sun, it won't get better so i decided to get back on the boat.

I was so disappointed at this time,

inconsolable !!!

Well, going to need to remotivate but we'll probably be back next year to reach better.

We'll see back home how it goes but i want to be back on the starting line and finish this race.

I don't want to stay on it !!!
