Well this weekend I helped volunteer at a biathalon. What is that you say. well it is where you cross-country ski and shoot a rifle. The Youth/Junior World Championships Team Trials were held here in Northern MN this weekend. They were supposed to be in Anchorage AK but due to a lack of snow they were moved here, so because of the last minute move they needed some extra volunteers. So I went and helped, it was pretty interesting since I had never seen on in person before, I had only seen them on TV.
My job was to keep score on certain lanes on the range. I had to write down when someone missed the target. When you miss the target you have to complete a penalty lap, so it is important to keep track of the shooting
Anyway the winners and some other qualifiers now get to go on to the worlds which will be held in Germany later this month.
Here are some photos

Are you seriously trying to tell us that MN has more snow than AK right now?! Wow. Looks like something we'd see during Carnival.
If it wasn't for the pictures, I most definitely wouldn't have believed you! I was thinking running and swimming... What does skiing and shooting have to do with one another anyways?
Did you ask to borrow those outfits when they were done with them? I think that we should totally hit the town in those!
it sounds like it was a lot of fun!
You conquered the big hill! WooHoo! The South America story is too fuuny, and at the same time a bit scary - I hope your friends are ok. I'm with Laura - I would look awesome in one of those outfits right now :)
