The second event of the British Telemark Indoor Series was held in Tamworth at the weekend. On Saturday there was a telemark festival day with instruction from top BASI instructors. Ben and Nicko from Telemark Tracks brought NTN telemark equipment for people to try as well. Check out their website for photos and more event information. A huge thank you to them and Ian Acey for organising a fantastic day!
On Sunday morning, Anne Ford and John Mordue organised a roller skiing taster session on the nearby cycle track. The importance of the skate section is often forgotten in the racing so it was great to get the opportunity to learn to roller ski as this can be used in summer training.
On Sunday afternoon the second race of the series took place. The full results can be downloaded here: Tamworth results. Congratulations to the following who placed at the top:
- James French
- Sion Bingham
- Colin Shepherd
- Jasmin Taylor
- Allan Stevenson
- Patrick Mitchell
Again, a huge thank you to all those who helped gate judge, run the race and donated prizes (Buff, Ski Bartlett and Scott)! It was a fun weekend, next stop GLASGOW on 11/12th July.
