Tonight, saw another glorious night at Alford for the mid-week sessions with a turnout of 15 skiers plus two coaches. Many of the older athletes are in full exam revision mode just now hence several them haven’t been present so far this series.
With the mat dry and sticky again tonight the focus was more orientated round precision and slow drills working on posture and edge control with a build up to a Short Swing challenge/ competition before break.
Andrew C was on course setting duty and set a lovely flowing course which was suited to the dry conditions we faced tonight.
Again, there was some very tight racing tonight and some family rivalries. James took a comfortable lead over fellow coach Andrew, seems to be each coach loses on their own courses recently. Kieran L then sat in 3rd leading the Newmachar pack with both Andrew H and William L having the same combined time to take joint 4th with Nathan just 2 tenths behind into 6th place. Daisy took top ranks for the females tonight just ahead of Sophie who rounded off the 16 second marks. Michael was in good form after his great session at Braehead on Sunday and scored a solid time tonight breaking below the 18 second barrier with Kizzy and Keira fighting it out in 10th and 11th respectively. Louisa had a superb 3rd run bringing her combined time right down, Josh J (new to Wednesday night sessions) skied excellently and picked up all important points. It was then onto the battle of the Nicholson family with only a hair to split them over last two weeks, Joe managed to pip sister Jera by 0.09 seconds combined today to give him the win in the family battle. Josh H was unlucky on his 3rd run and took a crash but showed true sportsmanship and finished the course but unfortunately made his combined time not reflective of his other two runs.
Sunday training at Alford as usual this Sunday 4.30-6.30pm. Hope to see you there.
Regards
Wednesday Night Team
