Stay Cool
Summer Biathlon A Success:
Saturday June 29 we had 30
runner/shooters participate. Race director Greg DeKeyser
had mowed a Ύ mile loop around the lake that the runners negotiated 4 times.
This is trail running at its best. The shooting and gun handling was superb,
and I hope we can do it again. This is a combination of fitness and
marksmanship. It was originally conceived as a way for our winter biathletes to stay in
shape during the off season.
Another biathlon is scheduled for
November 30th. Watch for more later. I
think it is a known fact that physical fitness will improve your shooting
skills, a good combination.
