Well done to Kayne, in winning the 5th and final race of the British Indoor Race Series and with that winning the whole race series !
Had a mixed day, missed a gate on Run 1, then had a great time of 17.82 seconds (we think), which if he had had a controlled run 1 would have been a good race !
In the fun team slalom, was a Team Bob member and we made the semi finals !
Opps a little late, by never mind.
Back from a great time at TGIS School Travel Week at Hilltops, had a great time on the high ropes, assault course, zip wires, team games and swimming ! and also the last week of school !!!
This, and the next four weeks are Activity Weeks at School, so Rugby Camps, Tennis Coaching and a load of other stuff.
Tuesday night watched MK Dons v Rayo Vallecano in a pre-season friendly and we played really well and the match finished 4:3 to the Dons ! Hopefully they will have a good season and make an automatic promotion place ! COYD !
Monday and Tuesday nights ski training, good to get in from the heat !
Friday is going to be a fun day !
Off to Ski Bartlett for new race ski boots ! Late afternoon meeting my old best friend, Alex, who is over from Finland!
And on Sunday till Wednesday, Ambition Atomic Open Camp at Hemel !
Update: Thanks to Jake and Terry and the team at Ski Bartlett for being patient with me whilst trying on new race boots, and trying to work out which ones fitted me best !
More professional photos from recent races and training on the web, feel free to buy any !
