Europa cup finals Formigal, Spain.

The forecast turned out to be right it was raining in Formigal but up on the race piste it was kinda snowing. First run was tough and bumpy but it held up surprisingly well or it might just have been that I skied well, I managed to put a good solid run together and I sat in 6th after the 1st run. On the second run because they had used so much salt to keep the track as hard as possible they just moved a few of the gates but essentially kept the same course, unfortunately for me I couldn't put down another great performance like my first run and after getting late in the the line and grinding it out to the finish line I dropped back to 13th. Disappointed, but it was a great breakthrough for me to ski into 6th on the 1st run because the guys in this race have skied alot of excellent results in the world cup this year and it confirmed to me that I can still ski well in the rough, rutted and softer conditions.

So I was only in Formigal for less than 24hrs before hitting the road again. Now I will be taking a break for a week or so because alot of races have been cancelled due to the warm wet weather. After that I'll hopefully get some more training in before racing the German and Austrian national champs at the end of March.
