6th September 2015 – GBR Indoor Series U12 – 3rd Place Overall

Posted on September 6, 2015 by zmetheringham

Back in early May 15 I tore my Medial Collateral Ligament whilst ski training in Hintertux and I thought it had ruined my GBR Indoor Race Series chances.

With amazing work from Paul @Elite Physio & Ben Reid I was back on skis at GBR Race 1 & 2 some 6 weeks later. My problem for the series I was only allowed to ski these first two races back like easy training runs, so I finished just in the points.

Race 3 in Glasgow a few weeks later I finished joint 2nd, which was all part of the rehabilitation process.

So this weekend Races 4 & 5 I was hoping to pull some points back and move up the GBR leader board. So with two 3rd places I managed to finish in 3rd place in the series behind two great U12 racers Jack and Kayne. Congratulations to Jack and Kayne .

Looking back over the 5 months from being dragged off the piste in Hintertux in a piste basher’s bucket, weeks on crutches, hours of gym work with Ben Reid of Ben Reid Performance Coaching and skiing with Ben, Glen and Mark D at SMK, @NordicaUK and Add Evolution a 3rd Place is amazing !

Looking forward to the Winter season, hard training, the move to U14 and full gates and hopefully with lots of hard work in the gym, off piste exercise and on piste training, these podium places will be back next year indoors.

Great chance to watch the 2nd Aussie Innings of the 4th Test ! (Broad’s first innings bowling was amazing!) Also getting that wind in my hair feel from the new Dyson Hot & Cold !

28 minute session, with 15.3km (9.5miles) covered.
