Where did my weekend go?

Well i say where did my weekend go - did i actually have one in the first place? errr NO!
After feeling absolutely wrecked from winter camping getting up yesterday morning bright and early to start my Race Coach Course was not a welcome sight! But i managed it along with the others that were up for it!

We registered with the external examiners and got on skis not long after. this was actually because they had forgotten to bring the books up from their hotel and so needed to fetch them. After a mornings ski improvement or more as i like to call it (in prep for level 2) - detuning, we headed in for lunch. They certainly made it short and sweet - no doubts there! The reasoning for this became clear after lunch as we entered a 1hr and a half tech session. To round off the day we did some more skiing and wrapped it up with a little more indoor theory - long day. Last night not alot happened for me - but that was cool - i needed an early night.

This morning wasn't quite so bad and my cough, cold and ulcers didn't seem so bad - deceiving little buggers that they are! To be honest later in the day i was in agony! Oh well i manned up and got on with it!

Unsurprisingly we started off this morning with yet more theory - yahoo! What a tit i made of myself as well, when all i needed to do was paraphrase something for the class i just seized up and couldn't say anything. Not good. I felt like a right imbecile. Two hours of theory anyhow, then we went for a ski.

We did some crazy sh1t today - i don't think i have ever skied like this before; very fast and not turning much down the hill - wicked what a buzz. Sorry mum but i love skiing on the edge - its so much fun; if you don't fall that often, you ain't trying!
A little more skiing this afty before another hefty theory session at two hours, hard work to stay awake!

The bus ride home was a welcomed end to the day to be honest. I was rounded out with a trip to A&W's awesome food providing joint - not! Then a return to the lodge and a chat with some of the gang.

Thought for the day: do i actually want to teach skiing? hmmmm

Laters people
