First Race

We had a race on Saturday.  I was in charge of putting individuals who take lessons from The National Ability Center on teams that paid to be a part of Saturdays activities.  It is a big fundraiser for us and in the end I was even able to race with a team.  It was my first race through gates and I made it all the way down on my first run.  There is room for so much improvement but it was a really cool experience for sure.

Here is Arly and Tom.  Both are on the race team and I have been able to ski and work out with them.  They have both given me some great advice and technique when I watch their skiing and make improvements to my own skiing. 

Here is Rip and Sue and Teague.  Rip and Sue are the adaptive ski team coaches and Teague is on the team. 

Here I am on the lift and then on the course.

Here is our team.  Me, Arly, Sue and Rip.  It was a good day.  Hopefully more improvements and more races are in the future.
