Air rifles in the rain

This weekend was biathlon camp in Fort Kent. We headed up on Friday afternoon, and arrived Friday night after a long evening in the car. On Saturday morning we left the cabins and headed for the 10th Mountain Center. We met the Austin's other campers from the county, and played the name game and got acquainted. It rained all day Saturday, but that did not stop us. It was a very full day, with lots of shooting air rifles and .22's, soccer, roller-ski technique, dynamic stretching, and mini run-and-shoot races. We all left soaked and a little cold, but it was a great day and a ton of learning took place. Everyone had lots of fun. Toast made us a big lasagna dinner on Saturday night at the cabins, and after some stayed at the cabins and some went back to the 10th Mountain Center to clean rifles. On Sunday we did some dryland training and warm-ups, some roller-skiing, and shooting. Older athletes shot .22's and did a workout with Gary, and other athletes did air rifles shooting with Toast. They shot balloons, paint-balls, plates, cans, etc... It was a great time! On the way home we all had techno dance parties in the cars. There was a lot of driving and the weekend was wet, but everyone learned a lot and had a ton of fun! If anyone has any other pictures feel free to send them to me and I can put them up on the blog!
