Coach Dan Lemay and his intrepid group of Strathcona Nordic Adventure Program (SNAP) skiers recently discovered the unique and exciting sport of biathlon. There were 8 participants, many of the whom were trying biathlon for the first time and in one case had never even shot a rifle. After some instruction, and a bit of practice, everyone was hitting their targets — and skiing penalty loops for any missed shots! The session was capped off with a real biathlon race! Competition for the symbolic podium was tight, and imaginary gold, silver and two bronze medals were awarded. Special thanks to SNAP-dad Pawel Palkiewicz and Vancouver Island Biathlon Club coaches Blair Pettis and Kai Sonnenburg for hosting the session.
