First I want to wish all my readers a Happy New Year and wish you all the best for 2010. May this year be the most successful and productive one.
During the fall, I trained harder than I ever did before. It was tough as I am working full time as a consultant but I managed to get good base training. I believe it will pay off in due time. Because of the cold weather I haven’t been able to do as many speed workouts as I wanted to but the good news is the good weather is coming back. I am a little behind as far as speed work but I will work hard to catch up and get ready for World Indoor Championships (March 14th – Doha, Qatar). This year I plan on focusing more on the 200M as I believe it will help me with my 100M race. I am planning on competing a few times here in the US before heading to Europe mid-February to compete in the Indoor Swiss Championships and Indoor World Championships.
Note: My business partner (M. Fingado) and I recently launched the Notelog (www.notelog.com). This tool has a lot of potential. Please check it out and provide me with feedbacks.

I am back from Berlin, Germany. I had a great time hanging out with my athlete’s friends. I know I didn’t perform as well as I wanted to but I believe the lack of experience and training played a big role in my poor performance (10.51 – 5th in the 12th heats of the 100M) . I remain positive, and I know that my time will come. I just have to be patient and train harder. A lot of people expected me to be part of the Swiss 4×100M relay but the Swiss sprint coach felt like it was better not to include me in it. I do feel very fortunate to have made it this far. I am aware that many athletes dream of making it to the World Championships. My season is not over yet. I plan on running the 100M this Friday at the Zurich Weltklasse, one of the biggest track meet in the world. I wont be running in the 100M “A” race but most likely the “C” race.

Thank you all for your support during the World Championships. I really appreciated it. Special congratulation to Mickael Hanany (5th in the final of the High Jump) and Charles Clark (6th in the final of the 200M). Here are some pictures taken during the Championships:

After consulting a couple of experienced athlete friends, I decided not to run this week-end. I was going to try and break the Swiss record (10.16) at the Fribourg Swiss-Meeting this Saturday August the 8th, but my legs are still tired from last week-end (Swiss Championships). I believe it is the wisest decision. Sometimes it is better to be patient and not rush into things.
