22nd June 2014 – GBR Indoor Race Series Race 4 – Chill Factore, Manchester

A strong field in the U12s for Race 4 of the GBR Indoor Race Series.

Very good first run, recording a 15:55 seconds, and placing me in 2nd position.  However good second runs by Elliott and Oliver pushed me back into 4th Place!, however the main aim was to close the gap to the second year U12, which I did with only 0.48 seconds from a 1st place and 0.05 seconds from a 3rd Place.

Again, really happy with my combined times, even though I didn’t improve on my first run time.  A combined event would have given me a 3rd place.  Never mind on to the next GBR Race weekends.

15th June 2014 – SnowSport Scotland Scottish Indoor Championships 2014

The Scottish Championships on the Sunday complete the Braehead double header race, and I love racing here.  Usually a strong field as it attracts lots from the Scottish ski resorts and dry slopes, so any podium here is a really great result.  U12 field was the largest indoor U12 field raced against, with 17 starters of which 9 are second year U12.

Again I pushed second year U12 Elliott on both runs, but couldn’t beat his second run time.

Still, I managed to get within 0.60 seconds from his winning time and finished 2nd.  Last year I walked away with 1st place in the U10s, 2nd in my first year U12s, so watch out 2015 as I am after my Scottish Indoor Champs crown back!

14th June 2014 – GBR Indoor Race Series Race 3 – SnowFactor, Glasgow

Its a long drive up to SnowFactor, however last year’s double header race weekend, GBR Race 3 and the Scottish Indoor Champs are a great event, and my Dad usually gets singled out to help, and he does this year, Starter on both days.

Strong field from the Scots and a few English and Welsh racers making the trip up, so it was always going to be a hard fought race.

I do love racing at the SnowFactor, (its strange how to warm to some slopes) and it obviously showed in my two runs, where I pushed Elliott a close 2nd, with a gap time of 0.73 seconds.
