13th May 2018 – GBR Indoor Race Series – Races 1 & 2

Posted on May 13, 2018 by zmetheringham

Great weekend – really enjoyed mixing it in my first year in the Under 16s.

Podiums and medals are great, but good to see all the hard work paying off with two sub top 15 places overall, fastest and second fastest in my YoB, closing gaps on the others (Race 2 Run 1 0.27seconds between 2nd & 6th on a course better for the bigger kids) and possibly knocked around 50 points off my iBarts – Good weekend (except the ear ache!)

Highlights (other than catching up with Team Evolution team mates and other friends, mastering a back flip with Will’s help and having a laugh) was how close the time gaps have become – just need to keep it going and working hard!

Thanks to GBR Race Series organiser and BSA sponsors and all volunteers.

13th May 2018 – GBR Indoor Race Series – Race 2

Posted on May 13, 2018 by zmetheringham

Ski racing is a hard sport, just because you do well one day doesn’t mean that day 2 will be as good – but all the hard work on the slopes with Team Evolution and Ski MK Race Team and in the gym, had another storming day (despite not sleeping due to ear infection) – I was out to prove I could do it again.

Two very different course, Run1 more suited to the larger heavier skiers, but managed a 6th place (only 0.27 from 6th to 2nd). So looking forward to the technically more demanding course.

Nailed it with a fast (10th fastest overall I think) Run 2 – even matched Joseph’s run 2 time

Ended up 15th Overall (and 2nd fastest YOB 2004)

Well done to Robbie, Jack and Joseph (also well done to Josh, Kieran, Kayne and the amazing Emily !)

Posted on May 12, 2018 by zmetheringham

First serious race of my Under 16 race career – Year 1 and no better place than straight into a BSA sponsored GBR Race – Feels like only yesterday racing on stubbies !

Starting to like the Chill Factore snow – with two solid runs, Run 2 more cautious but straight onto the third step of the U16 Podium ! Result !

Ended up 14th Overall (and fastest YOB 2004)

Well done to Robbie and Joseph (also well done to Josh, Kieran, Kayne and the amazing Robbie Holmes & Emily (our new Evo pocket rocket!))
