Southern Cup Race 1


On monday, tauranga hosted the first of the southern cup races which will be complete with 2 other races in oz. It was interesting with a few gates under water! My race was pretty average, i had a solid flat time on first runs apart from dropping quite low into an up to finish with a 101+4, quite a few mistake. second runs i was trying to repeat my first run but improve a few mistakes but didnt go to plan.. won't say the time since it was shocking. Senior Johann Roozenburg pulled out a 99+0 to win the first of the Southern Cup races, second went to Marcel Pontacy from Slovakia 97+4, Aaron 98+6 and myself in fourth 101+4 overall, and 1st Under 18. there's been alot of international people visting NZ with the swiss, Natalie and Simon,Simon the c2. Also Thomas Masuy from France has come for a 6 months to coach the NZ senior and junior team for the nz season and hopefully he'll continue to coach after his contract for the European Season with world cup and championship races..Its been a good start so far with thomas, just changing my progam and getting some good coaching, so hopefully i'll see results!
