Also, we have a few personal items that were left at the range building. If you’re missing anything, let me know what it is and I’ll see if we found it.
In addition to the Y & Jr World Championships, USBA will be selecting some athletes from Anchorage Trials to go to the Open European Jr Championships and the Jr IBU cup races. This is a great opportunity for those who are near the top of the local races, as we have historically placed many MN athletes on the YJr World team!! This will go below that to give more athletes the possibility of participating in International Biathlon Competition!!
Long race – 9.3km Short race – Distance to be announced Five laps, four shooting stages (two prone + two standing) with penalty loops. Mass start in waves of 10, seeded by previous results. 1 minute separation.
Here is the schedule for the Guard Biathlon Camp at Camp Ripley, MN on the above dates.
From our perspective, I think the Sat/Sunday training/races are the most important. However, if someone wants to come on Friday pm for the Combo training at 2:00 pm, I can come down and coach.
Please let me know if you plan to attend, and if so, which days.
The ‘open class’ is both Seniors and Juniors combined together. Then the Juniors are also on a separate class result. I think both age classes carried rifles on the entire course while the Youth and younger did a shorter course plus some ‘rifle loops’.
There are a number of Canadian biathletes competing also—and they often come down with really fast roller skis..almost rollerblade fast.
Mass Start and Pursuits tomorrow!! The link to the start times is posted on the main sheet of the same webpage.
