6th June 2018 – Helping for SMK Club National

It’s amazing how much work goes into organising and getting everything ready for a Club National.

Helped wash and sort bibs ready for Sunday’s race.

Our house looks like a storeroom with timing equipment, officials stuff and trophies.

Makes me appreciate the great work all the volunteers do to make these race events great and successful ! Thank you

2nd June 2018 – Ambition Club National @ Chill Factore

After two days training at Chill Factore with Ambition, today was the Ambition Club National, Slalom and Pro Slalom race.

Two solid runs in Slalom left me in 1st Place in the Under 16 ! and 7th overall !

The Pro Slalom I finished 2nd in U16s !

Amazing few days, and some great skiing by my Team Evolution and Ski MK Race Team buddies.

5th November 2017 – Ski MK Race Team – Internal Race Series 2017-18 – Race 1 @ Snozone MK

First race of the five race SMK members only race series.  Love being back on my “home” slope.  Race 1 comprised of two runs on two slalom courses.

Smashed the two runs, ending with fastest U14 and overall combined time and fastest time on Run 2.   Now to translate the confidence onto the mountains.

Thanks to all the helpers and coaches who make these internal races possible (and Phil D for the videos)

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

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.
