Dryland Biathlon @ Roberts Farm Preserve

BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon

When we heard that the World Cup Biathlon was coming to Presque Isle, Maine, we knew we had to be there! How often does an international event of this caliber come so close to home? Only every 5 years or so. It was so fantastic to watch the talented athletes compete at the highest level of competition in the World. The boys soaked up all of it, and claimed that it was well worth the loooong drive (And we all know how much they hate car rides, so that's saying something!) and the bitter, bitter cold (5 degrees Farenheit & windy!). 

Target Practice

Reading about herself...

...never gets old.  It's great to see our accomplishments recorded in print!

I'm even in there this time since I competed as well.  It really is twice as fun!

Dryland Biathlon @ Roberts Farm Preserve

This morning the girls and I ran in our first dryland biathlon.  I figured I should learn how to do the sport before I added the confusion of skiing.  And we all placed!  The girls were 1st and 2nd girls, and I was 2nd adult female.  The trails were tough, which made the shooting such a challenge because of breathing hard from running up those hills.  We had a great time.  It was such a fun way to spend the morning with family and friends!
