Last weekend, three of the CBC-HPM Biathlon guy’s (Kyle, Dean, Kirk) descended on West Yellowstone, along with a group of CBC (Colorado Biathlon Club) Masters. We were met with great snow coverage and Artic cold (-12F at nights, -2F by race time). We had one day (Friday), to get our ski legs and work on our shooting. Nice easy day of training and good shooting by all.
In Saturday ‘s Sprint 7.5km with two shooting bouts (PS). CBC’s world domination continues, occupying the podium spots. Kyle and Kirk had another epic battle with Kirk finishing .1 sec in front of Kyle . HPM goes 1, 2 in the Master Men!
Dean fought hard with cracked ribs and a bruised shoulder from an MTB single speed crash a few weeks earlier to hold on for 2nd, letting CBC Bill take top honors in the Veteran Master Men. CBC taking tops spots.
In Sunday’s Pursuit 10km with four shooting bouts (PPSS). CBC continued to dominate. Kirk going off first with a target on his back from the previous day missed to ski one penalty lap due to Old-timers, and was hit with a 2min penalty to his final time. Kyle continued his strong way’s, just missing 1st. Walter from CBC who lost his rifle to a National Guard thief had to postpone his start until they could get his rifle off the back of the NG… Walter finally found a start position and skied to 1st with anxious anger. Walter 1st, Kyle 2nd, Kirk 3rd. CBC again occupying the podium and most of the top spots and HPM 2nd, 3rd.
Dean continued his strong way, battling with Bill to finish 2nd again.
The races were followed by Pizza and Lots of beer by some, at one of the only open restaurants, and with most of the group driving home that night and a couple of us flying home Monday.
This week the internal CBC battles continue with a Sprint race at Snow Mountain ranch in Grand County.
