21st June 2015 – Lions Club National @SnoZoneCas

After a great Saturday of racing at SnoZone Castleford, Sunday was the first Lions Club National.

A stronger field at the U12 level today, brought about a couple of tight times between me and my Evolution team mate Lucas.

Slalom Run 1 Lucas was in the lead, he got 14.49 and I got 14.50.  I knew I could race faster as I had caught / crossed my skis on leaving the start gate.

So Run 2 and bibs in reverse order I ran first and with controlled aggression I posted a massively improved 14.14, and Lucas recorded a time of 14.54Lions_CN_Results_1 Lions_CN_Results_2

So two wins out of two over two days on the Slalom.  Good runs from Lucas !

Didn’t get the weekend all my own way on the Giant Slalom, after being pipped by Lucas over a combined two run time by 0.02seconds.  Lucas’ first run doing all the damage as our run 2 times where identical.

Good weekend for SMK Racers, yesterday Podiums for Rebecca (great 1st), Maxine, Sarah and Zac. With SMK Racers Amanda, Maxine, Sarah and Zac today on podium places.
