Wien and Turnau Race Update.

I Travelled over to Wien (Austria) last Thursday for 4 days racing. 2 slalom races in Wein itself and 2 Giant slalom races about 1 hour away in Turnau. In the first slalom I came 45th and scored 168 points. On the second days slalom I came 41st and scored 155 points. In Turnau on the first day of racing I came 89th and scored 195 points. On the second day in Turnau I did not manage to finish the second run.

I am now staying in Soll (Austria) with my race coach Brett and training about 15 miuntes away in Niederau at our new training base for the winter. I have been working on Giant slalom for the last two days as I will be competing in 2 Triol up Giant slalom races this Saturday. Will keep you updated, cheers Ben

Race Update, Garmisch Germany.

Traveled over to Germany Last Thursday for 2 Giant Slalom races in Garmisch. The first race on Friday went quite well, with a start number of 256, I managed to complete the first Run. I was in 114th place out of 290 racers. The second run was more about survival than anything. I just about made it off the steep section and tried to let it go on the flat, but lost the racing line. I finshed 115th overall with 200 points. After the second run I felt a slight pull in my left knee and decided to return back to Austria that night, not risking racing the next day.

I have had 2 days off so far and the knee is already starting to feel better. I am hoping to travel to France this Wednesday coming for 2 Giant slalom and 2 slalom races depending on my injury.

Also pleased to announce a new member to the team Mervyn Ramsay who will be my PR and head of sponsorship.

Will keep you updated, Cheers Ben
