On Sunday, the Western NY biathlon club hosted a very successful sprint biathlon race. Overall it was a great day. It was great to see a good turnout and to see some new faces come out and compete from the scholastic ranks! Also in the field was a member of the junior national women's team (Silke Hynes) and 2-time Olympian Duncan Douglas, fresh off his trip to Alaska for xc nationals. We had a lot of great volunteers that made the day a big success! Thanks to everyone that came out.

Darwin Roosa, who is (as far as I know) the first member of the Saratoga Biathlon Club to compete at Rochester Brooks. Hopefully he can convince some of his teammates that there's nothing to be scared of on our side of the state! We also had four competitors come down from Ontairio to add a little international flavor to the event.
Some of the high school racers that came out. All of these skiers raced the previous day as well either in a local high school race or in the JOQ in Glens Falls. They are looking fast, that's for sure!
Jason shooting offhand. Jason was second on the day, right on the Jacked Up Old Man's heels.This weekend is a classic 10km at Harriet Spencer. After this weekend, I'll be on the road for races or work almost every weekend until late-March. Due to this, I'm also going to make sure to enjoy some football on our new HD TV this weekend as well as ski. I will say though, after doing classic intervals last night, I have never been this pumped to do a classic race (which probably isn't saying much, but I digress), Saturday should be a good one!
