Slettestrand DH cup!

The fourth round of the Danish DH cup was on a new venue in North Jutland. The course is not that long but it has some very fun a steep sections with some good ruts. The forecast for the weekend said that it would rain all saturday and there would be some showers on race day. The forecast held pretty much and the track got really good.

Saturday Kasper and I got some good runs in on the two courses. When we felt confident on the track we headed back to the hotel and jumped in the pool and got a good dinner and a few beers.

Sunday morning we got up fairly early so we could get a couple of runs in before the first race run. For the race I had raised the front end a bit since the track was quite steep, which I think helped a bit. Come race time Kasper and I warmed up and put in a solid first run Kasper posted a 45.5 which was the 4th fastest time and I posted the fastest by about 2 seconds over 2nd. We were both happy with our runs and felt confident for the second run. After an hour of training on the second course we once again got in a warm up. Kasper had a good run coming over the finish line in 37.9 ending up on 5th spot. My second run was the worst of the week blowing feet of and staling in turns but it was still the fastest on the last course. I ended up first with a 3 second gap to 2nd place which I was happy with considering the circumstances.
