Hi everybody,
Today was not so good as I crashed out towards the end of my first run which was pretty thin snow to be honest. Gave myself a bad dead leg which is causing a bit of a dilemma for tomorrow but I'm hopeful I will be able to race somehow. The good news is that my coach said it is the best he has seen me ski slalom which is positive. Just going to keep my chin up and wait for the results to come, I'm sure they will, it's a long road of ups and downs but I still love it despite the crashes. Jack and Scott also crashed out plus the Europa cup race has been postponed till Thursday so Pete and TJ are racing here with me tomorrow.
I will let you know how tomorrow goes anyway.
Regards
Harry Brown

Hi everybody,
Been training with the europa cup team over the last couple of days near Schladming, which is an hour and a half away. Very cold and early mornings, but the training has been totally worthwhile. For the last two days we have been waking up at 5.30 and travelling over there so, we are ready for the first lift. Tomorrow is the same programme but Slalom instead of GS. It's weird how the summer's training has simply flown by and to think that tomorrow is our last day training before the race season really starts. Nevertheless, i feel ready and can't wait to race on monday and see where the summer's hard work has got me. I want to say good luck to my great mates T.J and Pete who are racing in their first europa cup on Monday in Reiteralm which im sure will be a great experience. The one thing about skiing is you make some great life long mates and we have all grown up together and despite our competativness we really do have to spend a lot of time together and watch eachothers backs. I'm gonna hit the sack now because the recommended 8 hour sleep is decreasing fast.
Take care x

Not a great day today but found out my race program
Hi guys sorry once again for the lack of contact,
Just had dinner and been on the bike for a recovery session and did some core as well.Today we skied super g in -15 (-25 with the wind chill factor) which was ridiculous haha. Did not ski great but to be honest i am not a big fan of the piste and am never too fast on the flats. My first races of the season are on the
-01.12.2008-02.12.2008 in Kaunertal SLALOM + GS
-06.12.2008-07.12.2008 in St.Moritz 2x GS
-09.12.2008-10.12.2008 in Bormio 2x GS
-11.12.2008-12.12.2008 in Bormio 2x SL
I'm really looking forward to racing Kaunertal next week as it is a really nice piste and generally a good race to score so if all goes smoothly without mistakes things should work out. Although it was where i broke my hand last year. Over the next few days we will be training around the Kitzsteinhorn and Schladming then take a day off before the first races.

Bad News!!!
Hi guys. Sadly this time i have some pretty bad news. Chemmy Alcott (Britain's number 1 female skier) has broken her ankle training Giant Slalom. Chemmy has had a great start to this season finishing top 10 in the opening race of the season in Soelden. Let's hope Chemmy get's back on snow fast and is racing again as soon as possible. Yesterday was a really good day training for me after i took a day off because of my knee. I skied both Gs and Sl and had a very good feeling in both disciplines. So it looks like i could be racing next week after all but im not 100% sure as of yet. Today the lifts closed after one run because of the wind, but that one run was just enough time for us to leave our bags at the top of the mountain which was a bit of a problem. We managed to convince a 'lifty' to take us up on a ski doo which saved us some walk. We have spent the last six hours taking our skis, bags and all sorts of equipment from the mountain and bringing it back to base. Everybody dreads days like this because they are such an effort especially considering it was pouring with rain..Good luck with the injury Chemmy.
Bye guys
