23rd September 2018 – 5th Lowland Champs, Snow Valley, Peer, Belgium

Posted on September 24, 2018 by zmetheringham

First training and racing at Snow Valley, Peer, Belgium.

Good 3 days of Team Evolution training followed by 5th Lowland Champs, as organised by the Belgiums.

(no official results posted yet but from times taken from Live Timing) Saturday, finished 45th = (with Aidan) overall, 11th = (with Aidan) U16 (with only two YOB 2004 ahead of me) – So happy as YOB 2004 3rd =

Sunday finished 44th overall, 12th U16 (pipped by Aidan by 0.31 over the two runs into 4th) with only three YOB 2004 ahead of me – Again very happy as YOB 2004 4th – but still lots of work to do.

Looking forward to next years 6th Lowlands, will be 2nd Year U16 and want to add to my previous Lowlands Podiums.

Sunday brought the second race of the Lowland Championship weekend. Excited by Saturday’s podium I was on a high to try to match my great result.

Run 1 I was placed in 4th, with Team Evolution athlete Lucas in 5th and SMK athlete Kayne in 6th. Again all to play for.

Another solid run, moved me into another amazing 3rd place.

After a great SnowWorld Cup result, time to ski prep and to stop Paul pinching my medal !

26th September 2015 – SnowWorld Cup @ Landgraaf

Posted on September 26, 2015 by zmetheringham

Saturday’s race in the Lowland Championships was the SnowWorld Cup. With a strong Dutch, Belgium, Luxembourg and GBR field I was drawn a good bib number, Bib 11.

After a good Run 1 I was lying in 5th place.

So to move up to a podium place I had to be consistent as this weekend races where on different courses and combined times. In another change to UK races, all the run 1’s are completed then reset and run 2.

So it was outside back to ski prep ready for Run 2.
