Cycling

Mont Ventoux Climb via Bedoin

The most legendary climb in road cycling(2024)
Conquered the iconic Mont Ventoux and went to the Gorde de la Nesque with 2 friends. It was a tough climb, not like any other, but the view and the pride at the top were worth it.

222.22km Ride

Longest ride to date (2025)
Rode 222.22km on a 2.6km loop in about 8H, just for fun.

2000m+ Elevation Gain

2 Cat 2 and an HC climb (2024)
With 3 friends, in the Pyrénées, we climbed the Col du Portech, the Col d'Ayens and the Col de La Core. Rainy, cold and steep, but such good memories.

Current Mindset and Goals
I'm currently training for my next 10k race, aiming for a sub 43 minutes. I'm also training for my first Ironman, about 12 to 15 hours a week.
