We’re getting to the serious part of the National Champs, Week 1 has now finished which is all Nordic events and we are now starting week 2 which is all biathlon events which start tomorrow with the 20km (15km for senior novices) Individual race which is basically 5 loops of a 4kms with a stop to shoot 4 times alternating between prone and stand, so today we were prepping for that with a range combi session.
Today’s conditions were very pleasing after all the heavy snow fall this week, the tracks were well packed and the sun was shining. Today’s training started with zeroing and after we set off for a nice chilled out skate of tomorrows race loop, then back into the range for 8 shoots and no more, Coach wanted us to keep the concentration high during shooting. Everyone was shooting well which is a massive boost for tomorrow’s race as there is a 1min penalty per missed shot.
After training we had to prep our skis for the race, which was pretty simple for us, wax on wax off, the coach has a more important job of testing and finding the right top wax which is really tricky. Now all we have to do is glide test them in the morning to see which are faster.
Remember all the results will be on the following link;
