What This Week Brings – w/c 20th May 2013

Last week was an exam week at school, so had to try and concentrate a little more ! We will see what the results bring.

Saturday was a good footballing day, as Great Horwood Under 9’s beat Willen Warriors 3:0 (away). Great result as they run us very hard last match (won just 2:1), an Saturday was no exception. But a great team performance by the 10 boys earned a great win.

So this week, last week before half term and hopefully an easier week at school?, brings:

Monday, The Grove School ski club, and straight into a Gravity Gates Night, so that will nearly be 3 hours on the slopes.

Tuesdays, is Ski MK Race training night.

Friday is a Cricket School fixture against Quainton School.

Saturday, going with Grandad, Mum and Dad to Twickenham to watch the Aviva Premiership Rugby Play-off Final, then Dad and Grandad off to Wembley to watch the Champions League Final ! He is very lucky.

Sunday is Ski MK Race training.

So another 7 hours on the slopes at SnoDome scheduled this week. Can’t wait.

(Thanks Mum and Dad in taking me to today’s race, and thanks to Dad for being Backup Finish Timer in the slalom races and then Starter Marshall in the GS ! He did look to have very cold fingers after two hours in the ‘big fridge’ operating the finish computer!)

Results – 19th May 2013 MK Club National

MK Club National race today, a two race meeting, with Race 1 being a two run slalom, with the combined times going against podium places, and a Giant slalom race consisting of two runs.

On the slalom race, guess what?, I fell again on my first run, but still recorded a time of 23.99 seconds (faster than some others U12’s), but then on my second I nailed it and put down a 18.09 second run, which is what I know I am capable of.

So with a combined time of 42.08 seconds left me in 4th. Very disappointing, but shows I need to ensure consistency in both runs, even on those races scored on fastest run or combined runs.

What was good was the second run of 18.09 which was the fastest single run time in the Boys Under 10’s by over 1 second, and 4th best time in the Under 12’s.

So have to take some positive thoughts out of today in that I am getting faster and stronger, just need to have consistency. Something to work on over the next two weeks.

On the GS race, two runs with a fastest of 17.34 gave me 46th male, or 3rd in the Under 10’s. All GS scores are calculated for a Series result, so need to see how many I attend over the season.

Two weeks until the next race, an ERSA race again at MK, so two weeks of concentrated training, so can improved on consistency and times.
