Training and SSBX, Sunday 6th March 2016


Evening All,

We’re splitting this weekend, as a small number of us have entered the SSBX race in Glenshee this weekend. More on that from James in a moment.

For training at the Lecht this weekend.

If you’re racing at the Scottish Champs next weekend, we’ll be training on both SL and GS, so please bring 2 pairs of skis.  The morning we’ll be on GS, with timing set up. The afternoon will be on Sl, again with timing. (it’ll be old fashioned timing with a radio and a stop watch).  We’ll keep the lunch break to a minimum, so we can make the most of the training time.

If you’re not entered for the races next weekend, training will be as normal.  Coaches at the Lecht will be Jamie, Andrew, John, Malcolm and Gary.

For those heading to Glenshee for the SSBX, James will be covering coaching duties,  he will be a busy man with coaching as well as taking role of Chief of Course.  James will endeavor to support the kids before, during and after the races.

Please meet James at top of the course at 9am both days with bib and lift ticket, he may be unable to come and meet you at the base café. If all Gordon Skiers can group together and then make their way to top of the course together.

James will then take them for course inspection and then keep them warm and training whilst they are not racing.

Lunch will be taken on the hill so please have money, if parents are able to be around the area for lunch that would be excellent as James may not get down to watch the athletes between runs.

Racers will then be handed back to parents at the end of the races.

Same plan for both days. Any issues let James know (mobile doesn’t always work on the hill).
