ITA, SUI, LIE

Another  satisfying  week of racing has drawn to an end. I am writing this blog wrapped up in bed because it is freezing cold outside, due to the ‘Mini Cooper’ frontal system! – very pleased to have a couple of days off.

The week started off at Caspoggio, Italy, for two SG’s, with more frustrations caused by a persistent layer of fog coming in and out of the valley, the first day ended up being postponed. (Nick set to go, clicking  in and out of his bindings  5 times!!!) However, we fortunately were able to run two races the following day. Our performances were far from what we had wanted, so there is work to be done there!

Deja vu at Hoch-Ybrig, SUI...Fog only allowing one run of GS on the first day. Again we  managed to complete the two races on day two!  Nick was pumped to score a second best 30 point result finishing 7^th and Jamie bringing it home on his final run, placing 3^rd fastest, earning a credible 37 point result.

Onto Malbun for Liechtenstein’s National Champs, 1xSL and 1xGS . The course there was awesome, a steep pitch near the top and ‘a worker’ the rest of the way down. There were also some strong skiers present, with the likes of Switzerland’s WC athletes, Marc Bethod and Markus Vogel. In both races our skiing was not our best. You can’t win ‘em all!

For the next week or so we will be at home base, Brunnen, for some quality training!!!!!!!!!!!!
