What This Week Brings – w/c 15th July 2013

After another amazing weekend of Ski Racing in Manchester, thanks to Snowsport GBR, the Chill Factore Manchester and all the volunteers that made the two race days go so well.  Loads to do at Chill Factore, like the rock climbing (thanks Tania and Dom).

This week is a ski free week, as its Travel Week at The Grove School.  So this morning we are off to Hilltops in Norfolk for a full week of outward bounds activities !  I will post pictures when the School update their photoblog.

And for the first time in months, I have a free weekend, although I may try to get a ski race training session in on either the Saturday or Sunday morning ?

13th & 14th July 2013 – GBR Indoor Race Series Race 5 and 6

 

Great weekend of GBR Indoor races on Saturday and Sunday !

Saturday was Race 5 and a Giant Slalom races.  In Race 5 I posted two great runs with a 16.90 in Run 1 and 16.97 in Run 2, which gave me 1st Place.  Kayne finished 2nd.  Sienna in the Under 12 Girls also got a 1st Place.

After the Slalom event, they held a Giant Slalom race, which also resulted in a 1st Place. So a great day of racing.  We all then went to watch Monsters University !

Sunday, well that was another day !.  Run 1 was an acrobatic run, and lucky to finish with a 18.78 seconds run! Run 2, I really went for it but missed a gate, so disqualified !  First run still resulted in 3rd Place.  Well done to Kayne with a 1st place after a first run crash, and to Sienna who won the Under 12 Girls.
