Aveyron Department Cuncil price giving ceremony

Feb. 6th Saturday, I was invited to the the Aveyron Department Cuncil price giving ceremony to the local athletes.

The opportunity to bring together in a sweet atmosphere the cream of the local athletes and the local councillors, with the presence of the local press.

Every athlete recieved a nice tracksuit and a sweet cheque!! ;-)

About kayaking, was presented Gaél Kernin (Millau CK club), Hugo Cailhol and myself (Rodez CK club).



Many thanks to the Rodez CK club which follow me, support and help me since my beginnings!!
I can't forget to thank Marc Cailhol, the president of the Rodez CK club, who make an awesome work everyday!!

Many thanks also to the Aveyron Department Cuncil which support me since few years and put kayaking under the spotlights regulary!!

February starts well!!

Looks like February starts pretty well!!

I spend all my free time between work, trainings under this awesome sun, and good moments with buddies!!
Not that much of kayaking but there's no rain and so no water in the rivers, so I ride my XCountry MTBike and go jogging every day!!

I also was invited to the local athletes price giving ceremony of the Aveyron Department Cuncil. No worry, I'll write you a post about that pretty soon!!
