<p><span id="more-1448"></span></p>
<p>Fabien nous raconte..</p>
<p>&#8221; L&#8217;après-midi a été plutôt chargée et longue.. quatre manches qui s&#8217;enchainent avec à peine une heure de battement entre chaque manche.. c&#8217;était un très bon test grandeur nature dans un contexte peu favorable. Mes manches K1 sont bonnes avec une amélioration du temps en deuxième manche. Traîne tout de même une erreur sur la porte 5 où je suis très limite et peux écoper  d&#8217;un 50 secondes de pénalités. Je sens que la fatigue des 3 dernières semaines est encore là mais j&#8217;essaye de faire de mon mieux pour sortir de la belle navigation.. En C2, on rate la première manche en tentant une option &#8220;avant&#8221; trop audacieuse sur une figure en milieu de parcours.. la deuxième manche est bonne avec quelques petites fautes de coordination mais comme 4ème manche de la journée, et premiers chronos 2012 en C2, ça suffira amplement!</p>
<p>Demain, journée &#8220;off&#8221; pour les K1 et C2. Demi-finales et finales pour les C1 et K1 Dames.</p>
<p>Dimanche, demi-finales et finales si tout se passe bien!</p>

<p>Fabien  vous présente une vidéo enregistrée depuis l&#8217;Australie. Il s&#8217;agit de la présentation de son nouveau partenaire : la banque <strong>Caisse d&#8217;Epargne</strong>. Le groupe, également partenaire officiel du CNOSF, a décidé d&#8217;intégrer Fabien en tant qu&#8217;Ambassadeur de son Team Caisse d&#8217;Epargne. Ce team est composé d&#8217;athlètes  venants de différentes régions et de sport plus ou moins populaires. On y retrouve un panel d&#8217;athlètes déjà médaillés olympiques et de  jeunes prometteurs.</p>
<p>&#8221; Je suis content et fier que des enseignes nationales telle que la Caisse d&#8217;Epargne, s&#8217;intéressent à mon aventure olympique mais aussi indirectement à mon sport.  Je pense que nous partageons beaucoup de valeurs communes en tant qu&#8217;acteurs sur le plan local, national ou international. Il est indispensable pour continuer à évoluer au plus haut niveau, de s&#8217;entourer de partenaires solides et durables. Le sport où la concurrence ne cesse de se densifier, est devenu un terrain de jeu exigent qui demande beaucoup de professionnalisme. Merci encore à la Caisse d&#8217;Epargne pour m&#8217;accorder cette confiance!</p>
<p>Vous pourrez suivre les performances des Ambassadeurs du Team Caisse d&#8217;Epargne sur la page Facebook pendant les six prochains mois pour aller décrocher les précieuses médailles olympiques!&#8221;</p>

<p>Ce matin, Fabien a effectué son dernier entrainement avec son entraineur, Jean-Yves Cheutin, sur le bassin de Penrith( stade d&#8217;eaux-vives construit pour les JO de Sydney 2000).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.canoe-kayak-jo-2012.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/DSC_2791.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1443" title="DSC_2791" src="http://www.canoe-kayak-jo-2012.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/DSC_2791-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>&#8221; Les sensations sont plutôt bonnes malgré les charges de travail denses de ces dernières trois semaines.. j&#8217;ai eu seulement trois demi-journées de repos. C&#8217;est un bloc de travail important pour arriver  en forme dans deux mois aux sélections olympiques. L&#8217;Australian Open n&#8217;est donc pas du tout une priorité mais seulement un moyen de garder le contact avec le contexte de compétition. Encore une fois, je vais courir dans des conditions des moins avantageuses avec à peine une heure de break entre chaque manche&#8230;et la journée de samedi vide!</p>
<p>Il va également être intéressant de tester avec un rythme de course, mon nouveau K1 et le nouveau C2, tous deux développés par Paddler Equipment. Le passage aux contrôle des embarcations n&#8217;a posé aucun problème, tout est en conformité même après les longues heures sur le bassin Australien. Les berges qui sont en ciment, chargées avec du sable,  sont très abrasives et redoutables pour les pointes arrières!&#8221;</p>
<p>Vendredi après-midi, Fabien commencera par les manches de qualifications en K1 et C2.</p>
<p>Samedi, journée &#8220;off&#8221;.</p>
<p>Dimanche, demi-finales et finales K1-C2 pour les plus rapides!</p>

<p><em><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>«</em> We&#8217;re not together for every training session but we are virtually once a day. </span></em></p>
<p><em>« </em><em><span style="font-size: medium;">It&#8217;s a good opportunity to pit yourself against others and raise your game. It&#8217;s something specific to our sport which, when all&#8217;s said and done, remains an individual sport. It&#8217;s quite possible to train with your rivals on a daily basis&#8230; Interestingly enough, it remains nothing but healthy rivalry. For example, this afternoon, Peter Kauzer </span></em><span style="font-size: medium;">(world champion in 2009 and 2011) </span><em><span style="font-size: medium;">is coming to do some timed runs with us!</span></em></p>
<div><em><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« Today, we had our first joint video viewing session&#8230; I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ve seen that since 2003 when </em>Sylvain Curinier was training the French K1 group!</span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« </em>Canoe-kayak slalom is, above all, a sport in which the real competition is the water, the course and you yourself&#8230; It&#8217;s a very good school! »</span></em></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Fabien and Denis begin their Olympic year in Australia at their annual training camp on the Sydney pool that attracts the cream of the slalom paddlers each winter. This year, Fabien has reservations about the pool&#8217;s configuration.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span id="more-1430"></span><em> </em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The team that will work together over the next two months is now complete with the arrival in Sydney today of the Duo&#8217;s coach Jean-Yves Cheutin and their fitness trainer Paul  Boussemart. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Fabien himself arrived two weeks ago and has been training twice-a-day on the pool that hosted the canoe and kayak slalom competitions at the 2000 Olympics. Here are his thoughts:<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>«The configuration of the pool is not the best this year. I think they&#8217;ll have to change it between between now and the Australian Open (February 10-12) and the Oceania Championship (February 24-6). Initally, however, it&#8217;s adequate for acclimatising and getting used to the time difference.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>«Australia is reputed to be THE place for winter training attracting the best international athletes. Each day, people are arriving. The training slots are filling up. Since I&#8217;ve been here, I&#8217;ve sailed with several Australians and German Fabian Doerfler </em>(2005 World K1 champion)<em>.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« The next step </em>(for the team) <em>is a big meeting to finalise just how we will work together on the huge training programme which awaits us! </em><em>»</em> </span></p>

<div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span id="more-1425"></span><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">C2 team-mate Denis and coach Jean-Yves Cheutin join Fabien at the end of December. For the first time, their fitness trainer <a href="http://www.sport-sante-evaluation.com/WordPress/">Paul Boussemart</a> will also be working with them Down Under. Here are Fabien&#8217;s thoughts ahead of what promises to be a roller-coaster year.<br />
</span></div>
<p><em><span style="font-size: medium;">« The journey was quite quick despite 20 hours in the air! Logistically, everything worked okay. My boat was in perfect condition when I retrieved it from freight. I found a flat to rent the day of my arrival. Training began gently with a few flat-water sessions.</span></em></p>
<div>
<div><em><span style="font-size: medium;">« The weather was on the cool side&#8230; 20° </span></em><em>(!) </em><em><span style="font-size: medium;">and cloudy for the season but all the better for that while I acclimatise and recover from the time difference.</span></em></div>
<div>
<p><em><span style="font-size: medium;">« Let me use this little message to, once again, thank all those who have accompanied me  this season, particularly my sponsors who enable me to prepare for each  season in the best possible conditions. Happy Chjristmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. See you in 2012!»</span></em></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Fabien takes time out to talk to a class of 11-year-olds about whitewater slalom, the Olympics and the day-to-day life of a professional sportsman and champion.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-1398"></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« I was invited by a schoolgirl </em>(Agathe)<em> who wanted to do a presentation on canoe-kayak slalom and the Pau whitewater stadium. It was an interesting and unusual idea and I liked it.</em> </span></p>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">« (Whitewater) <em>slalom is a sport that&#8217;s not yet that well-known and the rules are sometimes difficult to grasp&#8230; particularly when you&#8217;re only 11 years old!  So I visited this class to talk about the sport and to answer their questions, which focused on the day-to-day life of a champion and the Olympics. </em></span></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size: medium;">« It&#8217;s interesting and sometimes more complicated answering questions from these apprentice journalists than from the media itself! There&#8217;s always a warm welcome and I hope that this presentation will encourage some of them to come to the club and try their hand at the sport&#8230; »</span></em></div>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« Even if I couldn&#8217;t do a timed run today, I took advantage of this weekend to test my new boat on a natural run that I&#8217;ve got to know well since the advent of short boats </em>(the mimum length passed from 4m to 3.5m in 2005)&#8230;<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll compete in any other races in France between now and the Olympic trials at the start of April. There&#8217;ll be several competitions in the southern hemisphere, from January, to help me prepare well. »</em></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size: medium;">Fabien resumes training, chills out with fellow Team Adidas members in Corsica, tests his new K1 in a race in Pau and competes for fun in C1, an event he might take more seriously after the London Olympics!</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><span id="more-1392"></span></span>Time Out with Adidas</h3>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« </em><em>Conviviality was the name of the game at this get-together. It&#8217;s always excellent to meet up with the other champions and spend time with them&#8230; particularly when the host is Adidas!<br />
</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« We did work a bit. The marketing group briefed us on how they expected us to help promote the brand but they also presented their objectives and strategy. </em><em> We were briefed on the technical qualities of the different &#8216;Adidas Performance&#8217; products. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« The CNOSF </em>(French National Olympic Committee)<em> outlined the rules concerning the participation of an athlete at the Olympics and how the future &#8216;Club France&#8217; will work in London. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>«</em><em> Christophe Paco </em>(French network RTL)<em> offered a few media relations tips for sportsmen and sportswomen. »</em> </span></p>
<h3>Grand Prix de Pau</h3>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Despite a lack of training and returning to Pau late the night before, Fabien finishes 6th in both the K1 and the C1 against stiff competition at the Grand Prix de Pau. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>«<em> It was a pretty good start to the new season. The reflexes weren&#8217;t too sharp given the lack of training since my return from holiday but I put in a good second run with the final version of my new boat </em></em>(the Paddler Equipment I-Boat)<em><em>. I hadn&#8217;t had the opportunity to try it out </em></em>(in competition)<em><em> before. </em></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em> </em><em>«<em> </em></em><em>The K1 race was very close. We&#8217;re still 7 or 8 competitors within 1.2 seconds of one another! The race for Olympic selection  seems to have begun even if the start of April </em>(and the national trials)<em> are still a way away.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>« In C1, I had great fun on the second run and finished among the best in National 1. I train in C1 from time to time when the schedule doesn&#8217;t enable me to train in the C2 with Denis. As a result, I&#8217;m starting to develop some good reflexes! The experience that I gain will also stand me in good stead if my plan to race in C1 takes shape after 2012&#8230;</em><em> »</em></span></p>
