After three great (and consistent) runs on Sunday at the SMK Internal Race Series, I was hoping home advantage, the knowledge of snow conditions and slope profile, would help.

Racing with lots of SMK members and friends from other schools, it was great to be representing Akeley Wood School.

After a storming Run 1, I was placed 1st U16 and 3rd Overall Male (15:00 seconds), behind two very fast U18 racers.  With the snow conditionings becoming very icy, and final race results based on fastest run time of the twi runs, Run 2 was an all or nothing charge to try to improve on his overall position.

With the race based on fastest run, it was all or nothing Run 2, however I finished with a faster time of 14.63 seconds.  

I finished 1st U16 but jumped from 3rd to 2nd overall, beaten only by a very good Manchester based Under 18 skier.

Well done to other SMK Racers, Jacob B, Matthew D, Miles E, Ben C, Alex K, Sam D, Amelie D and toTeam Evolution team mates Charlotte W and Niamh T.

Looking forward to representing Akeley Wood School at the ISA Indoor Ski Championship in April next year.
