In less than two months, school year will be over and I'll be looking at my next goal which is to live as a full time professionnel triathlete. Here is how I'm planning. First, I'll be back in Quebec city to join my long time triathlon club at Laval University beside my coach Pierre-Yves Gigou. THE one and only !
