A phrase that could be used to describe the current temperature at the race site. The people of Grand Rapids, Minnesota had their coats unzipped, I had all 5 of my layers zipped up...and I was still cold.
Miraculously I wasn't cold at all during my race this morning. I arrived in Grand Rapids Thursday night after an exciting drive (at least we only got lost once). Yesterday was official training and my first time shooting with my new stock (which was fantastic). Skiing went well and I love the course here.
My skiing in the race this morning also felt amazing. It wasn't tough to decide which skis to race on. My Fischer's felt like Ferrari's, my Madshus felt like horse drawn carriages. My shooting in zero was awesome. Here's a breakdown of my results from today's race:
- Finished 7th
- Hit 3 prone
- Hit 2 standing
- 17 second off of 4th
- 7 seconds off of 6th
- Finished at 91.07% of the winners
Overall I'm happy no matter what I placed as I don't recall ever skiing a 26 minute 6km sprint biathlon before. I'm very happy with my time.
Note: My dad also raced, and he did manage to ski the right course...eventually.
