When I want to quit, my motivation to continue is the excitement of being part of something bigger than me.

The athlete who inspires me most is the French swimmer Sébastien Proyart. I dedicated my first world record to him. His mental strength, his eagerness to make a better world, his courage and his unique attitude toward life make him a beautiful source of inspiration and a great example.

My favorite part about training is imagining myself in the most difficult sport situations, requiring lots of psychological strength, energy and confidence. Once I am there in my mind, my work out is intense, meaningful, and really enjoyable.

Action Against Hunger has inspired me to promote causes which need attention and to leverage my passions to inspire others to get involved with ACF or with other important causes.

The hardest thing I’ve ever done is flying trapeze.

My next challenge will be climbing in Peru in May 2010—four peaks which have never been climbed before by a woman: http://followtheclimb.blogspot.com/
