British Selection Race 1 Lillehammer 2008


2nd place after a two day, 4 run battle that was so closely fought that I only just beat Adam Pengilly by 0.02 of a second! That's over 4 miles of racing at 70mph! Kristan Bromley won, just 0.26 sec ahead of me; Andy Wood was forth. So now we head to Cesana, Italy for race two after which, points will be calculated and places assigned on World Cup and Intercontinental Cup. My goal is to be on World Cup to give me the most experience for Vancouver 2010!
My summer was super busy! I set up Boatshed Bristol as a business to back up my sport with my sponsors Boatshed.com. Also after getting back from the British Champs last season Lucy got to audition for, and won a place as one of the new Gladiators! That's been a lot of fun and is helping support her heptathlon, where she managed to win an England vest and score a great PB! So we'll both be training hard for the next year or so!
The photo is actually post dated from Cesana - one of the local cows who is shepherded by a dog around the valley here, has found her way to our ice bath where she's taking a drink!
