Indoor Grand Prix Series Races 8th /9th August

MANCHESTER CHILL FACTORe

Unfortunately, due to returning home a day later than expected from the GB Ski Camp. Our plans to travel to Manchester Chill Factore on the friday night for races 7&8 of the Indoor grand prix series went a bit pear shaped!
We landed at London City Airport on Saturday 8th August( Robert's Birthday) at
7.15am and Mum & Dad were there to meet us.
Our mission was to reach Manchester and hopefully just arrive before the 1st run course was pulled. We made the journey in 3hrs 15mins!!(but won't say who was driving!!) and arrived at 11.15 to be told that the 2nd course had just been set! Unfortunately we missed race 7.
We had fun taking part in the dual slalom in the afternoon then went to stay at our Grandma's house where we had a big party to celebrate as it was Robert's Birthday!!

After a good nights sleep we were back at Chill Factore bright and early ready for Race 8. After an ORBANA healthy energy drink and a sausage bap for breakfast, Daniel was lying in 2nd place in CH2 after Run 1. Daniel's strong second run catapulted him into 1st place and 10th position overall making a double whammy for the Poth Brothers as Robert won the CH1 age category also.

Saas Fee 26th July-7th August

We had a great time on the GB Children's Summer Ski Race Camp. We trained from 8.00am - 12.30pm every day and the snow on the glacier was excellent. We only lost one day due to serious bad weather when everyone had to get off the mountain as quick as possible.
Saas fee is a great place with fantastic views and lots of sports facilities. The coaching was excellent and we have gained alot from this camp and can't wait to go back.
Thanks to British Airways having a faulty plane for our return flight, we all spent the last night in a posh hotel in Geneva which was a perfect end to the camp and returned home a day later than expected.
