Bryant Pond Biathlon Practice Day











Last Sunday a group of athletes including Chester, Jackson, Caitlin, Carrie, Tara, Emelie and Ashton, as well as Joel, Tiki and a few parents went up to Bethel, ME to the Bryant Pond 4H facility. They have a great range and were nice enough to groom a ski loop for us so that we could practice proper range procedure and biathlon situations for La Patrie! It was FREEZING cold, which made things challenging, but you never know, it could be like that during a race so practice with patience is always good! We zeroed and skied on the beautiful loop that actually went out onto the ice covering Bryant Pond. We had lunch inside, and then in the afternoon we did fun relays and worked on range procedure. It was a blast! Good luck to all of our athletes who are racing in La Patrie, and stay warm!
