The good, the bad and the ugly....

6th February 2012 at 10:13PM

So i'm the good obviously.... Jutty is the bad.... and well..... he can be the ugly too...!!

In all seriousness, it's been a tough few days, we kicked off in gates yesterday with a full-on drill course session in Maria Alm - suicides / 3x3's / line drills / leaning towers, all to improve basic skills of ski racing. By the end we had the nippers clearing a lot better and had the juniors moving their feet pretty damn fast through the various flush combinations. (this is the good news)

At the same time, the kids were racing in Piesendorf at an Austrian children's race. Great to get that experience but by the end of the day we had lost Will and Beth Soman to injury. Both will be out until the end of the season and beyond which is really sad news (that is the Ugly news)

Today we had an awesome day on Hinterreit with the juniors, Kieran, Barney and Peter all skiing brilliantly and pushing to be fastest having won 1 run each by the 4th run. The girls looked alot stronger too after yesterdays 'drills' day, taking the exits in a much stronger position. Then, a few niggles were seen to and it appears the blister on Barney's toe is the start of frostbite and somehow Peter's nail is coming off, sidelining him for the next few days.

Its the end of a long day and i'm not sure weather to be pumped, sad or just pissed off. Mix of all 3 i think. Tomorrow we are on for slalom again in lane 4, as Vonn, Mancuso and Reisch are taking up the first 3 lanes - pretty cool and something to look forward to there!

Night.
