Clarisse Cremer’s “ridiculous” injury

The navigator scalded her crotch after spilling her tea. A hard blow for the one who occupies 19th place in the Vendée Globe on Banque Populaire X.

“For the moment I have the most ridiculous concern in the Vendée Globe! “ Clarisse Cremer had a strange mishap this week in the Vendée Globe. After having bypassed the storm Theta, the sailor of Banque Populaire X took advantage of a little moment of calm to take a break and prepare herself a tea. His first since the start last Sunday!

“I cleverly placed it between my legs. I spilled it entirely on me, on my pubis ”, says the Parisian, who had to be taken care of (remotely) by the race’s medical service. “It’s going well for now even though it was very painful at the time. During the day, I had less pain than I imagined even though I was a little stunned. There, it does not hurt too much. I have to watch, I have creams so that it doesn’t get infected. “

Clarisse Cremer is currently in the middle of the fleet, in the second part of the peloton. She was in 19th place at 2 p.m. this Sunday. But she takes advantage of her adventure, off the coast of Africa. “I try not to think too much about the competitors, because that is too much for me. I have to concentrate on my trajectories. I’m less focused on the rankings than at the beginning and that feels a lot of good. Right now it looks a bit like the postcard picture of offshore sailing. It’s pretty, I take advantage of it! “
