5 day race camp in August 2010 - Chillfactore

Thursday, 19 August 2010

I had a 5 day race camp at the Chill Factore last week and i learnt so much that my coaches think i have made alot of improvements and think i am a lot better then before the camp.

The first 2 days Alain Baxter was once again with us and we have a good laugh and he taught me things I didn't know. I am pleased he came along again, because he has the experience and knows what he's talking about. Also he had a run in the course with my shin guards and poles. He was fast but some thought i was faster. :-)

When Alain left we had good coaching from the original coach Dean. I learnt to read a course better that i would have before the camp, and that will help alot in the furute of my racing carrier.

On the last day we had a race with everyone who came to the camp and that was great fun, i read the course perfectly and won the race by 2.14 seconds which is a huge amount of time in ski racing.

Hope my race at castleford will be a enjoyable one.

August 2010 race camp - Chillfactore

Thursday, 19 August 2010

My race at the Chill Factore was not a dissapointment but not what i expected.

Day 1
I thought it would be a good day for racing.
On my first run i came 3rd in my age and that put me down.
On my second run i was 3rd still and that was very displeasing to me.
I knew what i had done wrong and hoped to ammend it the next day.

Day 2
First run was great i had gone full throttle down the corse and was in 2nd place by 0.03 !!
However on my second run i misread the course and went too round around the gates,

which made me loose time and put me down to 3rd place again.

I still got podium places, trophies and the points needed to make overall winner.

I now know what ingredients i need to win my race at castleford, and this time i will.

Update after my Race and 5 day camp.

Cya you soon.

Eliya's fundraiser - 24th July

Thursday, 19 August 2010

A few weeks ago - July 24th - we did a fund raiser that earned me £135 which was great.

At Nancys birthday party she offered for me to make Mojitos, and i learnt how to make them in 5 minutes.
It was great fun, even though i cut my finger and had to wear a plaster while making the Mojitos.
However it was a good night and hope to have another like it.

There was also a Raffle which consisted of lost of small prizes to be won and out of that i earned £30.

I had a great night and can't wait for the next.

Next update soon.

Eliya Beelaert-Rubin - Upcoming events

Monday, 09 August 2010

Hello Everyone , I have a Job now, Decorating all sorts of places and it's great fun being on the side of scaffolding, a bit high up but I'm getting used to it. I get paid a good amount for what i do, and it's good for my arm strength as well.

There is a Race this weekend, The British Indoor Grand Prix Series, 7th - 8th August at the Chill Factore.

This is a very big race for me as II want to win on both days. In the past I have won on one day and then have mistakes on the other. I have spoken to my performance coach and we have had a good chat about how I can going to win both days.

I will update everyone on my results of this race.

Race camp @ Chillfactore - 26/28th July 2010

Monday, 09 August 2010

Hello Everyone. Eliya Beelaert-rubin

This week I had a race camp at the Chillfactore and it was great, Alain Baxter came along again.

Day 1 - Monday 26th July
Had a great day, We did some different exercises with Alain, which were great and hope to do again. Fitness was good as well. We did lunges and jogging with medicine balls, it was hard but fun. :-)

Day 2 - Tuesday 27th July
We pretty much did the same things but I got better, at least I felt I did. I hurt from Mondays fitness session and we didn't do fitness this day. Instead we did psychology session which was okay but I have my own performance coach and I think I respond a lot better to her. At lunch time i had a photo shoot with chill factor's mascot and Alain Baxter which was good. So those pictures will probably be on the Chillfactore website.

Before the photo shoot however, Granada TV camera man cane to interview me and Alain. I felt good about what said on the interview and the camera man said I was a natural. Alain had his interview and his went on TV, along with a run down the ski course of mine and my name being mentioned, any my Atomic jacket in the camera, not my face though. :-(

Day 3 - Wednesday 28th July
Alain was gone but we had my original coach back which was good and it was a fun day and at the end of it we had fitness. I was hurting all over but when I got into it I felt it was easy. At the end of fitness a few of us had a race and
I won by a fair margin because I was not very tired after that session.

Overall
It was a great session and i can't wait till the next one for 5 days.

Until next experience.

TRIPLE GOLD 10th July - Chill Factore Race Series/3rd Race

Saturday, 17 July 2010

The first thing I thought on that bright Saturday morning was I knew that I would win this race as I have done many times before. And that is exactly what i did.

First and Second Gold
First of all I was helping set the course with my coach Dean. After my first run down the slope, I realised I had skied a time 2.32 seconds faster than second place and after the 2nd race I was in the lead by 2.54 Seconds, it was an easy win. I won overall and in my age group.

Third Gold
Duel Slalom is a fun race, but is one thing I have rarely won, in fact just ONCE before. In the final and I raced a younger racer, around 10/11 years old. My coach said to me that I would win this so he told me to give the youngster a 3 gate head start. In the end he beat me but we all knew who was going to win so I got the gold. We both enjoyed the challenge given.

Until next race - enjoy the summer, rain or shine. :-)

Hemel Hempstead - Indoor races

Friday, 16 July 2010

Hello...

The weekend 3rd - 4th July, I raced at Hemel Hempstead.

Day one. I Was at the top of the slope ready for my first run and i had enjoyed looking through the course. As i was 4th person to ski down, i didn't have loads of time so i made the most of what i had at the top. My first run was good except i got slightly distracted by the commentator, but was able to regain concentration and ski to 1st place.

Second run, i hit a gate with my ski, lost all balance and almost fell in the slushy conditions ,however ,i regained control and tried my hardest to finish in a great time and still managed a 4th place in my category.

Day two. I had been helping my mum out a lot as she was very sick with a severe bout of peptic ulcer (diagnosed and treated in hospital later that evening), this meant i had to get a lift to the Race. At the top of the slope, i thought that i would race for my mum today. As i got to the top of the slope the women had just finished so i had to do all my warm-ups quickly which was not good. I arrived in to the start gate, pushed of but on my first push into the next gate I had an awful pain, the most pain I've ever experienced. I stopped with agony because i thought i had dislocated my shoulder, 2 members of the ski crew came to help me. Luckily my arm was not dislocated. I asked if i could have a re-run but i was not allowed becuase your own injuries are your own mistake. However i got a run at the end of everybody for my own benefit and also on my second run after everybody. If the runs had counted to the results, i would have been 1st in my category and 5th overall !!!

We came back on Monday 5th July and went to a Osteopath and he said my left pectoral to my shoulder was not strong enough, so he told me to do a good bunch of exercises and i an now doing more than he said to do, just for my own strength for skiing.

Next race 10th July Chill Factore.
