Blandine's trail running journey began during her medical studies on Réunion Island, where she discovered a love for mountains and long-distance running. Over the years, she has proven herself across ultra-trail events, winning the Balcons des Jas at Trail du Ventoux in 2025, placing third at the Grand Trail des Templiers in 2024, and finishing fifth at UTMB Mont-Blanc the same year.

Her success relies not only on physical preparation but also on situational awareness and smart training. Using Shokz Open-Ear headphones with bone conduction technology, Blandine listens to music or podcasts while remaining alert to her surroundings — essential on rocky ridges, steep descents, or crowded race courses. She alternates between OpenRun Pro 2 for daily training and OpenSwim Pro for races, storing playlists directly on the device when phone use isn't practical.

Blandine balances her demanding career as an obstetrician-gynaecologist with her training, showing discipline, resilience, and passion. Her story embodies Shokz's philosophy of "Be Open," demonstrating how technology can enhance both safety and performance. From high-altitude trail sessions to extreme multi-day races, Blandine inspires athletes and outdoor enthusiasts by showing that awareness, motivation, and perseverance go hand-in-hand.
