Its Been a While

Hello there it has been a while, almost 2 years a while so I guess its time for a long overdue update... again. I will try to keep this short but who knows how that will go. and as for future updates I will sincerely try to keep them coming but when I don't tend to do well I don't tend to post, and even when I do do well I still don't tend to posting.

So I guess I should start with the 2014-15 season and simply sum it up by saying it was a complete and total bust. There were about one or two decent results in downhill but overall it was a disaster and we can more or less chalk it up to getting used to a new sit ski and being suck in the rut of old bad habits of skiing like crap. But the 2015-16 season was the complete opposite. The season started a bit bumpy with the opening IOC races which saw me get disqualified in a super combi race and missing out on a 3rd place finish because I skied around the wrong side of the last gate. But after that and with the start of the World Cup season things drastically changed. I won the opening world cup GS in Kranjska Gora Slovenia by a respectable margin and went on to place in the top 8 of all other WC technical races that I finished for the rest of the season. But where I really excelled was in Downhill in which I won 3 out of the 4 Downhills and finished 2nd in the only one i didn't win which was enough to garner me the Overall Downhill IPC World Cup crystal globe. I also went on to win second overall in GS for the season as well as place 3rd overall across all events. Bringing my overall IPC World Cup medal tally to 8 for the season.

But while the season was really good for me results and equipment wise there were a few short comings. For the most part I did not finish many Super G races, as well as braking a few skis throughout the season which is never fun but I also ended up braking my left foot in Korea when we went there for a small test event, causing me to miss Canadian nationals and a post season training camp in Sunshine.

As for the summer I have been trapped in Whistler BC undergoing some centralized fitness training which has been somewhat productive in the sense that I have lost weight and gained some muscle mass. But other than that i find going to the gym tedious and annoying mainly because I have to listen to everyone's incredibly poor taste in music. But on the plus side there is only 3 more days left here in whistler then it will be off to Chile on Sept 1st for the first big ski camp of the season.
