T-Minus 24 Till Trials

Today was the 'Official Training Day' for the U.S. Junior/Youth World Championship Biathlon Trials at the home-range at Kincaid. Conditions are perfect, with fast snow and just enough wind to keep things interesting. The range is really colorful with so many visiting biathletes, and with friends and family among them it was like a big winter party with guns. The sprint competition is tomorrow, and I have a good feeling about the course and conditions. I feel fast, and hopefully that can translate to an acceptable result. Best of luck to everyone racing this week.

There was a LOT of media at official training today, including
news stations, Anchorage Daily News, and photographers.
