Dad took a couple of pictures last night of my “amazing” first year of GBR Indoor U10’s Races. This has resulted in:
3x 1st Places in Slalom
1x 2nd Place in Slalom
1x 3rd Place in Slalom
1x 1st Place in Giant Slalom
Next year I move up to Under 12’s, so podium places will be harder to achieve, but I will try my best.
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 ?
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.
