On Sunday we headed back over to the Tenth Mountain Center for the last time. The club fore-ran the courses. Jackson and Chester competed in the mass start. They skied 7.5 K and shot four times. They both competed in the Senior Boys division again, Chester finishing first and Jackson finishing second. It was a tough day for them both, with lots of penalty laps for Jackson and some epic wipe-outs for Chester, but both boys finished grinning with a huge boost of confidence. After the racing, the SMBC kids got to meet with more biathlon idols, Tracy and Lanny Barnes, and BethAnn Chamberlain. It was awesome for the kids to be able to meet these athletes and everyone was very excited. Unfortunately, Mike's van got a flat tire on the way home, but other than that everyone made it home in one piece. Thank you so much Joel, Mike, Tiki, and Gary for being excellent coaches and organizing everything. And thank you so much parents who cooked us awesome meals and kept everything organized, and drivers, we couldn't have done it without you! Also thank you Eliza and Jackson for helping with some of the photos. If anyone has good photos please send them to me! thumphries3@gmail.com.
JB, Caitlyn, Alex, Olivia, Sarah, and Carrie- I called Stride and the wrapper is NOT edible. I was right!
