My Paralympic Journey

25/07/2026

Found some photos from the ski season I did when I was 18 or 19. First one not very clear but was actually out a 15ft snow cliff, not very elegant, but I landed it. 2nd a rock jump I skied.

A run from parallel lines racing, coming a cropper, but getting back up.

One of my runs from parallel lines, it seemed faster when doing it than watching.
30 years since I have skied through poles.

So I competed in my first Parallel lines race today and got a silver, see below for how it is worked out.

(The results will be given a time factor based on age and nature of disability and then compared to a time set by a forerunner. With your factor taken into account you will be awarded either gold, silver or bronze depending on how close your time is to the forerunner.)

I enjoyed it, although I came a cropper a couple of times trying a new to me technique.
Both technique and gear have moved on since I last tried to race.
Thank you Stephan Elton for the advice.

So I've set my base level and hope to better it in August.
