I am a meteorologist and a former youth leader at church…I have a lot to say on both subjects…and then some
If you read Mary’s blog yesterday, you heard about Kaleb’s latest ski meet. I finished uploading the three videos of Kaleb’s runs. Because of work we missed his First GS run, but we got his second GS run and both Slalom runs. So here they are:
The Second GS run:
The First Slalom Run:
The Second Slalom Run:
I had the day off on Tuesday, so I went to Boyne Highlands to watch Kaleb race in the Petoskey Invitational. By the time I got there I had missed his first run in the slalom. He had fallen, but finished with a time of 41.01s. The second run was ok with 35s. There was a lunch break, and then the Giant Slalom.
The GS looked fun. It has the much more sweeping turns and faster down hill runs. I shot a 30 sec video that is here at You Tube with the camera of his first run. While lining up the camera, I missed that he almost fell. His time was 33.02s. His second run, I shot all stills. He ran almost 2s faster with 31.57 and at least for awhile was 4th fastest on the second run out of about 40 some skiers.
Update: Here’s a clip from the Petoskey News-Review: For the Boyne City boys, who finished eighth, Kaleb McNamara placed a team-best 12th in GS, while Tom Hague was 25th in GS; Mike Cortwright, 26th in GS; Nick Simeri tied for 25th in slalom; and Joe Shear was 31st in slalom.
For those of you who may have followed the link from Methoblogger, Welcome! I usually have some theological or meteorological posts, but as of late, family things have kept me busy so I have been doing mostly family posts. Take a look around and look at some of my past posts.
