Saint-Malo. Et de un ! Ils ont commencé à enchaîner les triathlons

​Ce dimanche 28 août 2022 marquait la première étape du nouveau défi de l’association Aventure Hustive – humaine et sportive. Le duo qui en est à l’initiative vise un record du monde, mais pas seulement.

« Quelle super première journée ! C’est vraiment un plaisir d’être là ! » À l’arrivée, Géraud Paillot, Mathieu Vaillant et une quinzaine de sportifs les accompagnant savourent les applaudissements et un ravitaillement copieusement agrémenté d’encouragements.

Il est 15 h, ce dimanche 28 août 2022 : le petit groupe n’était pas attendu si tôt et s’est manifestement senti pousser des ailes. Cette énergie collective sera en tout cas bien utile pour relever le nouveau défi que s’est lancé l’association Aventure Hustive (Humaine et sportive). Il s’agit en effet d’enchaîner pendant plusieurs jours – au moins trois – des triathlons en formats handi et valide.

Devant la porte Saint-Vincent, à Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine), les supporters de l’initiative n’étaient pas les seuls à guetter les athlètes. Une arbitre de la Fédération française de triathlon a stoppé son chronomètre 8 h et 17 minutes après le départ de la première épreuve de la journée, 1, 9 km de natation (à 6 h 30 du matin), dans les couloirs de nage d’AquaMalo. Suivis de 90 km de vélo ou de handbike et plus de 21 km de course à pied ou de fauteuil. Il n’y a plus qu’à recommencer, ce lundi 29 août 2022. La présence de deux arbitres, chaque jour, permettra in fine de valider un record d’un genre encore inédit au Guiness book.

Mais ni Géraud Paillot, qui n’a eu de cesse de se lancer des défis sportifs depuis qu’il s’est vu diagnostiquer une sclérose en plaques, en 2017, ni Mathieu Vaillant, médecin neurologue, n’insistent véritablement sur l’aspect « record » du défi. « On avance ensemble, c’est ça qui compte », résument-ils.

Un bon moyen de sensibilisation

Pour le soignant, cette aventure permet « de voir au-delà de l’aspect traitements, de se confronter au quotidien du patient, d’intégrer d’autres dimensions de son vécu ». Pour sa part, Géraud Paillot se réjouit d’entraîner dans sa roue, des sportifs valides et non valides. « Nous voulons sensibiliser le plus de monde possible, notamment aux handicaps invisibles induits par des maladies chroniques qui ont un impact considérable sur la vie des personnes, mais que les gens ne mesurent pas… »

Sans oublier l’essentiel : « Passer un bon moment. On se sent porté par le collectif, il y a une vraie dynamique. » Il est possible de suivre l’aventure sur la page Facebook de l’association. Pour encourager les athlètes, rien de tel, en revanche, que de venir les applaudir, tous les après-midi, vers 15 h, sur l’esplanade Saint-Vincent.

Saint-Malo. Il va tenter le record du monde d’enchaînements de paratriathlons

Géraud Paillot va s’élancer avec Mathieu Vaillant, médecin neurologue, pour tenter d’établir un double record du monde de triathlon, l’un en format handi et l’autre en format valide. Lors de ce défi, ils vont enchaîner des semi-Ironman entre Saint-Malo et Le Mont-Saint-Michel.

Géraud Paillot aime, comme Boris Cyrulnik, « le sport de petit niveau » et se définit comme « un touriste ».

Un touriste costaud alors, vu les défis qu’il enchaîne avec son association Aventure Hustive (humaine et sportive) : Paris-Marseille en kayak ; une expédition de trois semaines, toujours en kayak, pour atteindre le 80e parallèle ; un triathlon longue distance et un autre XXL. Sans compter les challenges d’un jour ou d’un week-end pour le plaisir du partage, ou l’entraînement.

Un triathlon longue distance par jour

Le prochain ? Tenter le record du monde d’enchaînement de triathlons longue distance en catégorie paratriathlon. « On s’est rendu compte que la catégorie enchaînement du plus grand nombre de triathlons longue distance existait dans le Guinness book pour les valides. Mais pas en paratriathlon. On les a sollicités et on a obtenu la création de cette nouvelle catégorie » , détaille Géraud Paillot. Il dit on, car il ne sera pas seul.

Le malouin s’élancera, le 28 août, avec Mathieu Vaillant, médecin neurologue, pour tenter d’établir un double record du monde de triathlon, l’un en format handi et l’autre en format valide.

Ils seront accompagnés de quelques volontaires pour parcourir, chaque jour, 1,9 km en nageant, 90 km en handbike ou vélo, et 21 km en fauteuil ou en courant.

Mais cette quête du record n’est finalement qu’un prétexte. « Le but de l’association est d’organiser des défis sportifs rassemblant handi et valides, comme soignés et soignants, pour communiquer de manière positive sur les maladies chroniques, le handicap et démontrer que c’est possible. »

« Vivre avec »

Le Malouin ajoute : « Oui, il y a le record mais c’est surtout un moment de partage, un moyen de parler de l’asso qui récolte des fonds pour la recherche et finance des activités pour tous. »

C’est en 2017 qu’il crée cette association. L’année où sa maladie, la sclérose en plaques, l’oblige à arrêter de travailler. « J’ai voulu vivre avec plutôt que de lutter contre la maladie. Je ne voulais pas rester dans mon canapé. »

Une grosse préparation

Depuis, l’aventurier multiplie les défis à la force des bras.Il se prépare à celui-ci depuis plus de six mois et a atteint un pic d’entraînement ce dernier mois. « J’ai enchaîné six jours à faire 2 km de nage, puis six jours à faire 70 km en moyenne de handbike, six jours à faire des semi-marathons en fauteuil. Et je finis par trois triathlons S en trois jours. J’enchaîne ensuite par un mois d’août à base de sorties plaisir. »

C’est aussi dans la tête que ça se joue. « Je travaille beaucoup la préparation mentale. Je fais du yoga tous les jours. C’est un volet hyper important et j’en ai besoin pour me connaître et attendre attentif par rapport à ma maladie. »

Il a aussi pu compter sur Itesoft, « un partenaire qui me suit sur cette cinquième aventure. Mais aussi sur AquaMalo, qui nous ouvre les bassins à 6 h 30, la Ville de Saint-Malo et le département de la Manche. »

Rendez-vous donc dimanche 28 août, à 6 h 30, pour 1,9 km de nage à Aquamalo, 90 km de handbike/vélo en aller-retour jusqu’au Mont-Saint-Michel et un semi avec arrivée à Saint-Malo. Avec l’ambition de l’enchaîner trois jours d’affilée. Au minimum…

 

Saint-Malo : atteint de sclérose en plaques, il veut battre le record du monde de triathlons

Ce dimanche 28 août, Géraud Paillot, atteint de sclérose en plaque va tenter de battre un record en enchaînant le plus grand nombre de triathlons à Saint-Malo.

Géraud Paillot, 52 ans est atteint de sclérose en plaques depuis 2004. En binôme avec Mathieu Vaillant, neurologue, il va tenter à partir de ce dimanche 28 août d'enchaîner le plus grand nombre de triathlons longue distance et de s'inscrire dans le Guinness book record. Géraud Paillot concoure dans la catégorie handicapé et Mathieu Vaillant en catégorie valide. L'idée est de faire un triathlon par jour pendant un maximum de jours. Le duo a pour ambition de les enchaîner pendant un minimum de trois jours.

Pour Géraud Paillot, le handicap n'empêche pas de participer à des défis sportifs. En 2017, il quitte son travail, sa maladie s'aggrave. Il décide alors de créer l'association Aventure Hustive qui organise des challenges physiques " Je suis allé de Paris à Marseille en kayak en solitaire pendant 55 jours, à la rencontre des malades. Ensuite j'ai monté une expédition dans le grand nord au Spitzberg pour passer le 80e parallèle où on était handi-valide en kayak pendant trois semaines en autonomie complète". Pour la troisième fois, Géraud et Mathieu Vaillant font équipe sur un triathlon longue distance.

" L'idée avec Mathieu c'est de montrer que soignant-soigné, on est dans la même barque, on avance ensemble, on pagaie ensemble et on peut atteindre des choses incroyables".

Sensibiliser aux maladies invisibles

Le but de son association est de sensibiliser le grand public aux maladies invisibles comme la sclérose en plaques. Cette maladie affecte le système nerveux. " Quand vous me voyez, vous ne pouvez pas imaginer que je suis handicapé et pourtant j'ai plein de troubles : des troubles cognitifs, comme la concentration comme des grosses fatigues neurologiques, comme la mémoire". La sclérose en plaque touche 120 000 personnes en France.

Le départ a lieu à 6 h 30 dimanche du matin à la piscine Aquamalo de Saint-Jouan-des-Guérets.

Most of what this shop sells is marigold, not as garlands (phulang malai), but as short lengths, strung together and put into transparent poly-bags. In addition they also sell bouquets and arrangements of other types of flowers, as you can see to my right. I am seen here standing at the entrance to this shop- I did not actually enter. Beautifully fresh though they were, Thais generally associate marigolds with funerals, so it is considered inappropriate to present a Thai local with marigold flowers. Some of them may however probably be used as prayer offerings in wats (temples) as well. I am now in the 24x7x365 Bangkok Flower Market, known locally as Pak Khlong Talat. (literally market at the mouth of a canal). (Bangkok, Thailand, Oct. 2018)

The temple of the goddess Isis at Philae is one of the most beautiful in Egypt, not as large as some but structurally largely complete, which is fitting for the temple believed to be the last to operate under the ancient Egyptian religion, having only formally closed for pagan worship in the 6th century AD.

 

It was also the first of Egypt's great temples I ever saw in person and left me spellbound, and thus it was fitting that this should again be the first we visited on this trip.

 

The temple sits in a uniquely picturesque setting on a small island in the Nile south of Aswan and thus has only ever been approached boat. The complex consists of the main temple building dedicated to Isis (wife of Osiris and mother of Horus) whose inner sanctum is entered via a forecourt with towering pylons guarding the inner and outer entrances. All this is approached from the Nile through an open court flanked by lengthy colonnades making an unforgettable first impression.

 

There are several subsidary buildings of note around the site, the most imposing of which is undoubtedly the large rectangular colonnaded structure known as 'Trajan's Kiosk', which features some beautifully carved capitals.

 

The temple is relatively new by Egyptian standards, begun under one of the last of the native pharoahs, Nectanebo I (c380-62 BC) but mostly dating to the Ptolemaic period (as do many of the better preserved temples in the south of the country).

 

The temple's long use and later conversion to a church along with its remote location helped preserve it more or less completely over the centuries, but in the 20th century it faced its biggest threat, the construction of the Aswan dams which are located either side and caused Philae island to flood. The first dam (built 1902) caused the temple to be inundated for much of the year (thus washing away all the remaining paintwork from the interior; 19th century watercolours record what a loss the coloured details were). The bigger threat came in the 1960s when the Aswan High Dam was built to the south, causing the water levels to rise enough to completely submerge most of the temple. For some years all that could be seen of Philae were the four main towers and the columns of Trajan's Kiosk emerging from the waters.

 

Fortunately salvation came in the 1970s following the campaign to rescue and relocate the Nubian temples further south also threatened by the rising waters. Following the construction of a coffer-dam around the temple the entire temple complex was dismantled and rebuilt on higher ground on the adjoining island of Agilkia where it can be enjoyed in its full splendour today.

Most Holy Redeemer Church

 

The parish was founded in 1880 by Redemptorist father Aegidius Smulders, a former chaplain in the Confederate army. Initially the parish served a congregation predominately of Irish immigrants, many of whom worked in the tobacco factories. Services were held at first, above Patrick Ratigan's general store on West Jefferson Avenue and later in what was then known as Paddy McMahon's Saloon. Church services were held on the first floor, while the second served as a residence for priests. The first church building, a wood frame structure designed by Redemptorist Brother Thomas, and known as the Little Church on Sand Hill, was dedicated in 1881. A second larger Gothic style church was built in 1896 during the tenure of pastor Benedict Neithart.

A most fortunate trip early this morning. I had no plans going to bed Friday night but have been waking up in the middle of the night rather often lately ever since going to Eastern Daylight Time. So when it happened today at 4:30 AM I decided to put it to use. One problem with these darkness trips and hikes is nowhere open to get breakfast fast and I'd need something substantial for sure. The great thing about right after the time change is the sun comes up really late, so I cooked a big meal.

 

Turbo and I drove up to the Mount Pleasant National Scenic Area near Buena Vista, VA and took the Appalachian Trail south up to Cold Mountain. It's a "bald" area similar to what is found around Roan Mountain in NC/TN. Pretty much a 360 view and there aren't many places in VA with a better shot of the rising sun. I wasn't sure how it would be since there was a lot of overcast where I live and on the drive up. It's about a 1 mile hike to get up here and did it just as the glow of day started. Only had to wait about 15 minutes until the sun came up, and the sky just kept getting better. I stayed around taking pictures for perhaps 45 more minutes and could have stayed much longer.

 

We rode home on the parkway stopping at the good overlooks and also went for a flower walk at the James River. It's the low point of the parkway and thus spring happens in that area first. We ended up seeing Dutchmans Breetches, Cutleaf Toothwort, Spring Beauties, Bloodroot, and Star Chickweed. Best photo trip I've had in awhile and don't know how long it's been for that nice of a Saturday.

Notes about my pictures: Most of my Chemtrail pictures were taken in Dayton, Ohio--home of The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base -- final resting place of the Roswell aliens <:-0 -- and apparently from my photo and video documentation, Chemtrail Central. This area has been getting Chemtrailed on a massive, daily basis and I have 1000's of pictures and videos since I began documenting Chemtrails regularly, in late 2014. The level of Chemtrail activity here is astonishing, and is being conducted, as they say, in plain sight. Looking back through my film archive of slides & negatives, I have convincing evidence of Chemtrailing activity back to the early 1990’s, and chemtraily-looking skies back to the early 1980’s.

 

I am designating all my Chemtrail pictures to Flickr as CC0 (Creative Commons Zero), which removes my copyright and releases them into the Public Domain. My goal is to make them available in the highest resolution possible, and without any image processing. They are archived on Flickr under "Chem Trailchaser".

 

I hope by making these images widely available, it will accelerate interest, research, study and more documentation from all over the world. Please, download, copy, backup, mirror, share and use & improve as many of these photos as you can! Thanks for looking - Chem

Most of the snow in the glen had gone by Sunday, but in this part nearer the village there was still evidence of the burn having been frozen over. Kirktonhall Glen, West Kilbride, Ayrshire, Scotland, with the burn that runs to the Clyde at Seamill. A 5 exposure HDR image. The church steeple in the far distance was St Andrew's, which joined with Overton to become West Kilbride Parish Church on 14 January 2010 - tonight! So this is possibly the first picture of the "new" church uploaded onto the web. (Although the picture was taken on 10 January 2010).

SAGINAW— The Most Rev. Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, was present at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption in Saginaw where the Rev. Andy Booms, cathedral rector, led the faithful in the solemn liturgy of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday, March 25. The crucifixion and death of Our Lord is remembered as the faithful gather to venerate the cross and hear the Gospel of John's account of Christ’s Passion. By adoring the Holy Cross, the faithful are reverencing the instrument by which Christ won our salvation.

During the veneration, the choir chanted the Reproaches: "My people, What have I done to you? How have I hurt you? Answer me! I led you out of Egypt; but you led your Savior to the Cross. For forty years I led you safely through the desert, I fed you with manna from heaven, and brought you to the land of plenty; But you led your Savior to the Cross. O, My people! What have I done to you that you should testify against me?"

Mass is not celebrated on Good Friday, but the faithful may receive the Eucharist in the species of bread that was consecrated during the Holy Thursday Mass. The church is instead stripped of all decoration, and the doors of the tabernacle are left open for this day of mourning as we remember Christ's death.

The Morgan Motor Company is the worlds oldest privately owned car manufacturer, being run today by Peter and Charles Morgan, son and grandson respectively of the founder H.F.S. Morgan.

 

Located deep in the British Midlands - in Worcestershire, England - the quite country town of Malvern Link has been producing Morgan sports cars for enthusiasts since 1919.

 

Morgan's are still built by hand in Malvern Link, and buyers are invariably enthusiasts prepared to order a car from the company and wait several years for delivery.

Most Rev. David J. Walkowiak, bishop of Grand Rapids, joined the St. John Paul II parish community to bless and dedicate their new church on Dec. 1, 2019, the first Sunday of Advent. The dedication took place during the 10:30 a.m. Sunday Mass at the new church (3110 17 Mile Road, Cedar Springs), the first Mass celebrated inside the new church building. More than 350 people attended including parishioners, clergy and other guests.

Flamborough feature formally called “the Rock Needle”.

The most likely candidate is Queen Rock, the extraordinarily slender chalk sea stack off Flamborough Head.

The Yorkshire Marine Nature Partnership’s official trail guide identifies the offshore column as Queen Rock and explains that it was created when wave erosion exploited vertical cracks in the chalk, causing the surrounding cliff to collapse and leaving the isolated stack.

Flamborough Head is one of the most spectacular areas of chalk cliffs in Britain, standing 400 feet high.

The chalk was laid down millions of years ago when the last dinosaurs were roaming the earth.

The cliffs are home to one of the largest sites of nesting sea birds in England, boasting a rare colony of gannets.

The cliff top walk is a bird spotter's paradise, and visitors to the headland include oyster catchers, gulls, eider ducks, puffins and cormorants.

There's also a wide variety of plant and wildlife species.

As well as its distinctive white cliffs, there are coves, sea caves and stacks along the coastline.

The name Flamborough is thought to be derived from a word meaning "the place of the flame". Other sources claim that it derives from "Flaneberg", possibly from the Saxon "Flaen" meaning a dart, which the shape of the headland resembles.

 

Thank you, have a lovely day, M, (*_*)

Most recently, this store was an Apple Market food store for several years.

 

Nearby was a Dollar General. A bank still operates, in same strip mall. It is all across from the popular Uptown Theatre, a historic auditorium that hosts live bands.

 

There is parking on the roof of the bank, maybe the entire strip mall.

 

But I'd like to know what grocery chain it was originally.

 

Update: kcmatchgirl, with personal memory of it, confirms it was a Safeway store! I have wondered about this for 15 years.

Most of the sea wall doesn't have this fence, but close to the pier and going South, the fence is necessary to stop people scrambling over the wall and down to the beach!
