Day 4: race day2

Alright well the results are in and can be found at www.biathlon.sasktelwebhosting.com . So yesterdays races went pretty well for everyone. The morning started even earlier, with a team warmup at 7:00 and breakfast at 7:20. We left for the venue one last time at 8:00. The range opened up at ten, so we didn't have a ton of time. Sight in ended at 10:45, the first race started at 11:00 (my race) all races were mass start.. Each race was 30minutes apart from the next, the junior boys started after me at 11:30. The conditions were quite challenging in the range and on course. The morning started at about -5 and went down to around -12 which wasn't too bad...except for the wind, there were somewhere around 30km winds in the range and on course which made it pretty difficult to make a good shot. Going up and down hils was no picnic either. I'm sorry to say I don't have many pictures for this entry the camera isn't co-operating; but Lin-P'ing has set up a dropbox with many of the picture from this weekend, you should have recieved the link in an email but if you didn't get it here it is www.dropbox.com/sh/pp18r1j24lpjef4/ZS8pTQ1kQQ . The drive home was pretty interesting. We had some trouble with the visibility and ice on the road there were lots of vehicles on the side of the road as well as in the ditch, lucky for us we had good drivers, we stopped in Regina for about a half hour and waited to see what the weather was doing; but we decided to press on. By the time we arrived in Winnipeg we were well into the morning. I think we were all just happy that we got home safely!Well I guess this marks the end of the Westerns . Hopefully I'll have the chance to write another blog for a different event. Thank you for reading! Also a HUGE thank you to the Best Canadian Motor Inns for all of their efforts and hospitality,they catered to our every need so a huge thank you to them!!!
