Race Entries for U12/U10’s
This Saturday I am (apart from missing the FA Cup Final and GBR Indoor Race 2) joining in the Gravity Snowsports Boot Camp No. 1. Looks a tough day, and hopefully I can get through it
The day looks like this:
08:00 to 10:00 On Snow Skills Squad
10:00 to 10.30 Drinks Break
10.30 to 12.30 On Snow Freestyle
Lunch Break
13.45 to 15.45 Fitness Training
“We will be running a monthly comprehensive training day for our athletes. Our first camp is 11th May and a great opportunity for a fun and productive days training. Athletes can join coaches at 7.45am and picked up at 4pm. The day starts with the athletes joining our Skills Squad training session. This part of the day will be working on posture and standing strong on the skis throughout the turn. Later we will be working on foot speed and agility through a ‘Brush” course to test your skills.”

Great weekend away with Buckingham Rugby Union Football Club Under 9’s, at the Burnham On Sea Rugby Festival. Unfortunately, Bucks RFU play the transitional rules (no scums, line outs, rucks and mauls), and the festival (and most of the other Teams) play the full rules, so we lost all of our 5 matches. Our last match was when we started to click in the full rules, unfortunately it was againt the strongest team in the competition, but we did run them close.
But it was a great experience being on tour and a great start for our team to play the full rules next season.
Thanks to the coaches Tim, Richard, Jeremy, Stephen (Dad) and Liz (Mum) (Under 9 Manager) for the great season and organising the tour.
Some fun activities between the matches!
Hurray, missed a school day with it being Bank Holiday. Caught up with school work in the morning and a punishing (in the 23 deg C heat) fast bike sprint around Furzton Lake 3 times.
Tuesday night brings Ski MK Race Team Training, seems so long since I have been on my skis.
Looking forward to an overnight school trip on Thursday and Friday, leading into a Gravity Boot Camp. I am sure it will be a hard day of skiing and fitness training. (Missing the GBR Indoor Race 2 at Manchester to attend, but need to work on technique and fitness). Also missing the FA Cup Final, but have to sacrifice lots of things to get better on my skis !
Sunday is GBR Indoor Race 3 at Manchester, so keep an eye out on my blog for updates and details.
Hi all, feel a little happier today, Mum and Dad keep reminding me that Saturday was a great result and I should build on that, and use Sunday disappointment as a reminder of what not to do.
Got in my mind, first run must post a time, second run beat that time !
So here goes what my week brings (oh School takes up most of it!) but sport takes up the balance:
Monday – TGIS Ski Club @ Snozone – try lots of runs on the areas where I fell on Sunday to get confidence back and understanding of what went wrong (obviously I have to imagine the course as its not set up!)
Tuesday – Ski MK Race Team Training @ Snozone
Thursday – GHFC Football training
Friday – TGIS v Bedford Modern School U9’s Pairs Cricket
Weekend – BRUFC U9’s Rugby Tour at Burnham on Sea
Disastrous today! (update: and I suppose I will have lots of them… in this sport)
Fell in the same spot on both my runs so no recorded time and disappointingly no podium position. All the other competitors completed the course.
Need to focus back on training this week. (update: Monday night school ski club, going to ask Wilf at Snozone, if I can have lots of free ski runs over the area that Sunday’s course was set, and whilst the snow / ice wont be the same, lots of runs over the ridge at MK in the same racing line will help for the future).
Also must focus more on the free run time they give us so I can get used to the snow, my skis and edges.
Anglo Welsh Championship Race Order
Despite wiping out on my first run I did manage to complete the course and record a time. Run 2 was the one that put me in 1st place. My first winning race – so chuffed!

Dad is at his course officials meeting, I’m chilling after a warm up – just waiting for the course to be set now. Nerves can follow later!
