Must look smart today for school pictures ! Fail !

Looking forward to SkiClub at school, as TGIS has teamed up with Gravity Snowsports to transfer 6/7 pupils from SonZone training into a Gravity Schools Programme.  So SkiClub for me now includes an hour of Gravity training.  (Big thanks to TGIS for organising).

Sunday was the last of the indoor races for 2013, so planning for the Alpine races and slope based training camps.  However need to finish my school Science project, “Space” before half term, as off to Tux !

This week also brings a rugby tournament at school on Wednesday.

12th October 2013 – BARSC Championships @ Chill Factore Manchester

Last indoor race of the year for me at the British Alpine Racing Ski Club Championships held at Chill Factore in Manchester.

Run 1, really went for it, but fell at the verticale, spectacular fall after getting some good air !, but still managed to finish (51.70 seconds)

Run 2, more cautious run, posted a time of 17:07 seconds, which gave me a 1st place some 0.35seconds quicker than Lucas from Lions (Thanks to Lions for the podium picture).

Happy with the podium, not so happy with my times, need to a. be more consistent with my runs, b. speed up, as I was 2.58seconds behind Oliver, who I will be racing against in the U12’s next year.

Well done to Daniel Barton, winning the U16’s (6th overall) and winning as part of the International GS competition in the afternoon.

Also well done to Kayne at the ERSA Brentwood Plastic race, with a 2nd place behind Alex, which gave him a 2nd on the best of 4 (2x snow and 2x plastic) races in the ERSA Championships.
