LSERSA Race 2 - Bowles

It is very rare that a race comes up at a slope that no-one from the club has skiied at before let alone raced at and this was the case last Sunday when the Bowles club played host to the 2nd race in the LSERSA summer series. The slope is small but is in a lovely setting and overall the event went really well. The number of racers was disappointing but on the other hand with the very small area at the top of the slope it was probably not too bad a thing. The Aldershot racers faired very well in both the individual slalom and in the team races. We were particularly successful in the first 4 girls groups. In 1F Sarah Woodward won the silver medal and in the 2F group Alicj Krahelski also won the silver medal with Katie Standen winning the bronze medal. In the next group Lucy Woodward won the gold medal and it was the same result for Jenny  Davies in the 4F group. The boys also delivered the goods with Euan Chapman winning the silver medal in the 3M group, James Sieber winning the large 4M group and Peter Davies winning the silver medal in the 5M group. Moving up the age groups Avelline Deighton won the silver medal in the 8F group and there were further successes in the 9M group. Now dubbed the supervets - a reference to ability rather than age - the lead in the race swapped several times before Graham Nayler secured victory with a storming third run.

 

Onto the team races and there were more successes for the Aldershot racers. The Aldershot club team of Peter Davies, James Sieber, Euan Chapman, Graham Nayler and Hannah Bozier finished third in their competition. In the fun team event Brian Davies' team finished third, Ben Militec's team finished second and Jenny Davies' team finished third.
