The weekend (25/26 Jan) saw Freya in Grasgerhen, Germany for her first two Junior FIS Snowboardcross races.  The race was huge - both in competitor numbers (190!) and course size as it had been built for a Europa Cup event a few weeks earlier.  After a course inspection with their coach the team worked on their plans for their races and had one practice run and one qualifying run with Freya achieving a time of 1 min 14 down the race track, placing 39th.  Sunday it was the same routine with course inspection and planning what to work on following the racing on Saturday, again due to the size of the field, they had one practice run ahead of their qualifying run and Freya shaved a massive 15.18 seconds off her time completing the course in 58.82 seconds placing 34th. Freya (and us, and her coach) were really pleased with her results and her positive approach to her first FIS events
