I,(Rachel Koroscil) and Jeannine Beattie attended an event known as Snowfest at Mountain Equipment Co-op,more often known as MEC! We were both there to represent Biathlon Manitoba and promote the sport. Between question and answer periods,dry firing demonstrations,biathlon basics,handing out pamphlets,teaching how to put on and take off the rifles and rifle safety I think we both had a great time. Even with our booth gathering a lot of interest we both had a chance to check out some of the other booths,sports,workshops and MEC gear of course! There were many sports and activities to learn about,not to mention the free hot chocolate and energy bars. Jeannine took part in a storytelling session on the roof (and they had a real bonfire going!) and I went “ice” climbing,(picks,helmet and all…) and learned how to make proper cordage out of plants at a survival workshop. Overall,it was an awesome experience and hopefully *fingers crossed* we succeeded in gathering interest in both biathlon and the upcoming events! Hope to see you all at the next race and camp!!! Rachel Koroscil Mountain Equipment Co-op is hosting the first annual Snowfest! Snowfest is celebration of all things snowsports related with something for people of all ages and levels of experience.

The Frozen Thunder project which has gotten skiers and biathletes on snow at the Canmore Nordic Centre since October 15th has attracted attention from the rest of the world! Check out this article on biathlonworld.com http://biathlonworld.com/en/press_releases.html/do/detail?presse=1365 Submitted by Sue Davidson On the October 1st weekend,22 athletes took part in the Biathlon Manitoba Fall Training Camp. A great young contingent was present as 15 of the athletes registered were under 12 years of age. Athletes attended from many parts of the province and NorthWestern Ontario. The weekend was a combination of shooting and aerobic skills as athletes participated in the following activities: rifle and range safety,precision postal shooting competition,yoga,running and shooting mini race,orienteering,personal goals journals,nutrition,team building and hill bounding. Some athletes stayed on site and participated in fun activities and games provided by one of our coaches. Many thanks to Nicole and Rachel for a wonderful camp. Our next camp will be December 29-30,2011. Pictures to follow??? | ||||||
