4-man Biathlon!!!
No work today, so I joined Joe and Nancy at the Whistler Olympic Park in the Callahan Valley - beautiful! Snowing soggy flakes like a bugger - I didn't realize that the coat and snow pants given to us by VANOC were so absorbent! Check out the cute, spontaneous spectator art on the way in - not sure how many snowmen, but it was alot!
There was definitely a minority of US and Canadian folks at this shindig: beaucoup Norwegians (I fit right in), Austrians, Russians, Germans - The top 3 finish teams were as I just listed. It was noisy! People scream for each good rifle shot, make a sad sound for each bad one, scream REALLY loud when the skiiers go by - It was just a blast - except for the absorbent part. Some folks even come up to these things wearing thin sweatpants and tennis shoes???WTF??*&^%
Here's a couple of good Videos:
Beauty shot here at the end on the way out:
