Well it was another eventful day here at westerns. The day started like it did yesterday well for the athletes at least, for the coaches they were up at seven waxing skis.

We left the motel at ten this morning, there was quite the fog!We arrived at the venue for ten thirty, races at one. Once again we were one of the first groups there. The range opened up for sight in at noon so we had about an hour and a half to ski, eat and go through rifle check.

Once sight in started each athlete had about 7 minutes to shoot and confirm ( shoot with a heart rate ). After the range closed at twelve thirty Cam, Lucas, Ben and myself had about half an hour to warmup and get in the zone. The first race started at one o'clock. My race started nine and a half minutes after start. I think I speak on behalf of most of the athletes when i say that todays course was challenging,tiring but a lot of fun.

We're having some trouble with the results as they are not posted on zone4 so we can't retrieve them but i'll see if i can find them tomorrow. Well I think it's off to bed for me, we've got an early morning tomorrow, watch for another post sometime on monday (i don't get internet while driving). Thank to all of the parents,coaches and volunteers for all of their support. honourable mentions go to Lin P'ing for supplying the only camera that would work with computer and for taking many of the pictures.
Thanks for the insight into the Biathlon world. Have a great day of racing and safe journey home.
