Great weekend away with Buckingham Rugby Union Football Club Under 9’s, at the Burnham On Sea Rugby Festival. Unfortunately, Bucks RFU play the transitional rules (no scums, line outs, rucks and mauls), and the festival (and most of the other Teams) play the full rules, so we lost all of our 5 matches. Our last match was when we started to click in the full rules, unfortunately it was againt the strongest team in the competition, but we did run them close.

But it was a great experience being on tour and a great start for our team to play the full rules next season.

Thanks to the coaches Tim, Richard, Jeremy, Stephen (Dad) and Liz (Mum) (Under 9 Manager) for the great season and organising the tour.

Some fun activities between the matches!

Hurray, missed a school day with it being Bank Holiday. Caught up with school work in the morning and a punishing (in the 23 deg C heat) fast bike sprint around Furzton Lake 3 times.

Tuesday night brings Ski MK Race Team Training, seems so long since I have been on my skis.

Looking forward to an overnight school trip on Thursday and Friday, leading into a Gravity Boot Camp. I am sure it will be a hard day of skiing and fitness training. (Missing the GBR Indoor Race 2 at Manchester to attend, but need to work on technique and fitness). Also missing the FA Cup Final, but have to sacrifice lots of things to get better on my skis !

Sunday is GBR Indoor Race 3 at Manchester, so keep an eye out on my blog for updates and details.

Hi all, feel a little happier today, Mum and Dad keep reminding me that Saturday was a great result and I should build on that, and use Sunday disappointment as a reminder of what not to do.  

Got in my mind, first run must post a time, second run beat that time !

So here goes what my week brings (oh School takes up most of it!) but sport takes up the balance:

Monday – TGIS Ski Club @ Snozone – try lots of runs on the areas where I fell on Sunday to get confidence back and understanding of what went wrong (obviously I have to imagine the course as its not set up!)

Tuesday – Ski MK Race Team Training @ Snozone

Thursday – GHFC Football training

Friday – TGIS v Bedford Modern School U9’s Pairs Cricket

Weekend – BRUFC U9’s Rugby Tour at Burnham on Sea
