31st January-free skiing

31^st January 2012

Free skiing

Today we did some free skiing with another coach called George. Today we went on and of piste, we did half pipes and gully’s as well. I conquered my fear of going of steep drops and we had to ski down a cliff drop and I did it!!! Today was really fun I enjoyed skiing in the gullies, I can’t wait to go again. 

I need to improve on jumping as I turn, by letting my skies run freely. 

We went skiing at Auffach today, if you want to find out more about Auffach then click on the link bellow

30th January 2012 - New Cat Suit!!

30^th January 2012

Race training

Today was the first time I wore my cat suit. We did slalom training, I really enjoyed it. We trained with a coach called Ian. We did about 10 runs today, about 5 on each course. After five runs we went in for a hot chocolate, sausage and chips, while Ian set a new course. 

I, personally preferred the first course as the gates felt like they had more rhythm than the second coarse.  

 I enjoyed it today, and on our last run we went full cat suit, it was great and made me feel like I was faster. 

I need to work on keeping my upper body straight and facing down the hill, pushing more on my edge and keeping my body forward, if I do this I will improve on my times.

friday 27th race day

27^th January 2012

Race day

Today we had the race, the first course was like a super g for minis and GS for children and above. |The second course was easier and my time improved. I was disappointed with my ranking, first run I placed fifth and second run I placed third, which was a little bit better but I was aiming to come first. We left after that and I am getting my medal sent on.

Tenladen, Neiderau
