I’ve wanted to write this piece for a long time now simply because I would not be able to do any of what I do without my support crew. Talking about all of the people who support me and are there for me to help me do what I love doing. I am so thankful to have such a supportive group.
My parents and Stephanie are my biggest fans and supporters of my career and are always there to cheer me on at races. Stephanie not always, if she decided to go out with her friends the night before, but is there most of the time! She was nice enough to let me leave for a long training camp in Tucson this past winter. As for my parents I cannot say enough about them. They do absolutely everything possible to help me out with my training. My dad, now the official greens keeper of my house, always takes care of everything in order to provide me with the time and opportunity to train and recover. He is also my #1 training partner. Most of the time when i go out for a run he is always there beside me on his big green mountain bike. During the long runs he would just bike beside me and offer support when needed. He drops whatever he is doing to come and help me out when i need it. The guy is seriously the best Dad in the world and I owe a lot to him. They are the core of my group.
Coach Phil Bertrand is also a huge support for me. This coach is amazing! Phil has brought my performance to a new level. We have been working together Since October and everything is working out great. Since following his guidance I have ran a 2:54 marathon and got a PB for the Half. I also secured my first win of the year by following his detailed schedules that he provides me on a weekly basis. Every time I have a question he is always quick on the Blackberry. Constant communication between us is essential considering he lives in Rigaud. Thanks for everything Coach!
Mike Bennett and Ducan Beard are awesome!!! The fab team at Euro-Sports. Without Mike’s support, I definitely would not be able to race and train with the equipment that I have. He is by far the best store owner that I have ever met as he will always go out of his way to make sure things are good. Duncan, then main tech dude is the one who I can count on when my bikes need some care. Always making sure that my bikes are in top condition, he never refuses to help me out. Cant thank these guys enough. Very happy to be racing for the Euro-Sports Triathlon Team.
This year I am lucky enough to be joining the BASE nutrition ambassador team. I have used BASE in the past and very please to be able to add it in to my racing season again this year. A company that is devoted to its Athletes is exactly what I like. Thanks BASE for taking me on!
And thanks to everyone who is there to provide me with support. I am very greatful for all the comments that are received.
Have a good one!
Lou
