Last Saturday’s Gravity Boot Camp #1 was hard work, with Ski Skills Session, Freestyle Skiing and then a gruelling land training session. Looking forward to Boot Camp #2 and #3 over the next two months.
Sunday was a long day, 04:15 alarm call, on the road before 05:00 and at Chill Factore just after 07:00 in readiness for Race 3 of the GBR Indoor Race Series (missed Race 2 on the Saturday as wanted to to the Gravity Boot Camp). I was a little nervous, and Run 1 I fell around Gate 4, when I crossed my skis at the rear and it popped a ski off. Did ski the rest of the run on one ski !
Run 2 was a cautious run, with a Under 10 time of 18.28 seconds, which placed me First in Place in Under 10’s (by over two seconds) and a good 13th in U12 & 10. Need to learn to get a steady, error free first run so I can push it on run 2. Now I have skied at Chill Factore, hopefully the nerves will by better when we return in July for Race 5 and 6 of the GBR Indoor Race Series.
Monday brings School Photos (must keep looking smart all day ! #difficult) and then School SkiClub at the SnoZone. Tuesday night brings Ski MK Race Team Training.
Saturday is one of the last Football matches of the season, for Great Horwood FC Under 9’s, who had a good draw last Saturday with Leighton Buzzard.
Sunday brings yet another morning of Ski Racing, with the Ski MK Club National, at the SnoZone. Home slope, so hopefully will be another successful two runs ? Kayne racing on Sunday, so have some good close home competition.
