I used Nuun at The Transrockies run in 2008 , and it help me recover each day. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So come on out to the Salomon Biathlon race this Sunday and sample some.

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;On January 11 Whistler Olympic park and the West Coast Nordics smashed all participation estimates by hosting 144 skiers at the Salomon Biathlon Series- a series of biathlon races aimed at introducing biathlon to the masses.  36 teams of 4 people competed in the 2 km biathlon race. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The participants skied one 1.5km loop and then a 900m loop stopping at the range after each loop to shoot five shoots at five targets. For every missed shot, they skied a 120m penalty loop as atonement for their imprecise marksmanship. A three lap maximum was installed on the penalty loop so if any skier missed four or all five targets in a single bout then three loops was considered enough punishment at this friendly competition.Participants ranged from &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;regular&lt;/span&gt; Whistler and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Squamish&lt;/span&gt; endurance athletes to beginner skiers  just happened to be in the biathlon stadium and decided at the last minute to try a biathlon experience. Such stars as Trevor Linden competed.If you missed this great event your next chance will Feb 8.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294157060038729234" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ok0rau4BTr0/SXify-S8HhI/AAAAAAAABmk/DS6hu6YtP64/s400/P1120356.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; The Salomon Biathlon Series will follow right after the North American Cup which tales place on Feb 7 and 8.

Your first couple of skis are very important. Just as important as your wax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Whistler Nordics are having a fund raiser for the club where for a minimum of $&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;15 &lt;/span&gt;donation you can get your skis waxed by top wax technicians to get your skis running smoothly and efficiently.

Likewise, if you would like to pass the person in front of you, ask them politely if you can pass them. Make sure it is a safe place to pass, stay on the trail and thank them for letting you by&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It’s going to happen and you can’t take this too seriously.

  &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Zina Kocher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;, of Red Deer, Alta.; Sandra Keith, of Calgary; Rosanna Crawford, of Canmore, Alta.; Megan Imrie, of Falcon Lake, Man.; and Megan Tandy, of Prince, George, B.C., developed the plan to pose nude together in Bold Beautiful Biathlon, which is on sale now for $25 at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boldbeautifulbiathlon.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.boldbeautifulbiathlon.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;on the Internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;With a goal of targeting financial support from corporate Canada for their Olympic journey, the five Canadian women turned up the heat on a frigid Calgary morning when they roller skied through the downtown core during noon hour with nothing more than shorts, race bibs for tops, and their traditional biathlon rifles locked on their backs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;"We are extremely appreciative of the generous financial support given to our program by Sport Canada, and by Own the Podium to the athletes on our team that are projected to achieve excellence," said Zina Kocher, a targeted athlete herself and the leader of the Canadian Biathlon Team, who in 2006 became the first Canadian to win a World Cup medal since Myriam Bedard did more than a decade ago. "But our sport remains significantly under-funded compared to our competitors, and one of the few winter sports in this country without a title sponsor or personal sponsors."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Funding for an athlete's annual budget comes from a variety of avenues. Personal sponsorships are a core component to covering the many annual expenses high-performance athletes face for both training and competition. Despite being one of the lone fully-funded athletes in the national biathlon program, Kocher and long-time World Cup and Olympic teammate Sandra Keith, took the lead in rallying their World Cup comrades to aggressively seek additional funding opportunities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;"We believe there is a tremendous opportunity for someone in corporate Canada to not only invest in this team and our drive to the Olympic podium, but also to invest in building a new image for young Canadian girls to look up to," said Keith, who enjoyed a breakthrough season on the World Cup last year which included a career-best 11th-place result. "Contrary to a lot of images young girls are seeing on television and in magazines about the ideal woman's body, it is a healthy athletic body that we should all be looking to maintain. You don't need to be a high-performance athlete to be fit, and we are encouraging all women to be proud of their bodies."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The photos of Keith, Kocher and their teammates were taken by Rachel Boekel and Adrian Marcoux in Canmore, Alta. Each athlete will be featured on two pages of the calendar, along with four group photos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Canadian biathletes were inspired to take on the project when thinking back to the success two of their Olympic heroes in cross-country skiing, Sara Renner and Beckie Scott, had in raising funds after producing a similar calendar in 2001. Renner and Scott, along with three other teammates, tastefully took their clothes off to also raise the profile of their sport while showing the world cross-country skiers were fit and healthy people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;"An athlete's livelihood depends on their bodies and I believe athletes should be proud of their bodies. This calendar &lt;bold beautiful="" biathlon=""&gt; celebrates strong, athletic women," said Sara Renner, who will compete in her fourth and final Olympic Winter Games in 2010. "As the mother of a daughter, I would be proud to see pictures of these role models on my child's wall as opposed to a synthetically enhanced Hollywood star."&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Sales of the calendar took off for Canada's cross-country ski women, which helped finance their preparations for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City where Beckie Scott became the first North American woman to win an Olympic medal when she won gold in the pursuit race. Scott and Renner later joined forces to win a silver medal in the team relay at the 2006 Olympics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; A healthy, female body is a beautiful thing and if these girls choose to celebrate it with a calendar, then all the power to them," said Scott, who also became a mother after retiring in 2006 with 17 World Cup and two Olympic medals. "The unique thing was we created this calendar right on the cusp of our team making huge strides in the sport internationally, and I hope this marks the same trend for the biathlon women. I wish them the very best and give them my full support."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Canada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;'s biathletes will be hoping history repeats itself as well – both with sales of the calendar and on the biathlon course. The calendar will begin selling across the country immediately, while the team will hit the start line for their first World cup race of the season one month later in Sweden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;To purchase a Bold Beautiful Biathlon calendar, or for more information on the project, please visit us at &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boldbeautifulbiathlon.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.boldbeautifulbiathlon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; on the Internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4403298014434792234-2716867011007246179?l=salomonbiathlon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://salomonbiathlon.blogspot.com/feeds/2716867011007246179/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4403298014434792234&amp;postID=2716867011007246179' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4403298014434792234/posts/default/2716867011007246179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4403298014434792234/posts/default/2716867011007246179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://salomonbiathlon.blogspot.com/2008/10/gotta-love-biathlon.html' title='Gotta&apos; love Biathlon'/><author><name>Munny</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16044450584498667574</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ok0rau4BTr0/ScznM13ioBI/AAAAAAAABss/674GprGbF-4/S220/n649760317_1345081_4899.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ok0rau4BTr0/SQvTYS40UuI/AAAAAAAABMA/FeHWcaG2xPA/s72-c/Bold+Beautiful+Biathlon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403298014434792234.post-4698682162649676419</id><published>2008-09-08T10:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-08T10:38:40.999-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 &amp; 2013 World Championships host city's awarded !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ok0rau4BTr0/SMVjCM8lT-I/AAAAAAAABGs/E83K7L_SgNk/s1600-h/IBU%2BBiathlon%2BWorld%2BChampionships%2BAoSY0gZefVel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243706230629027810" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ok0rau4BTr0/SMVjCM8lT-I/AAAAAAAABGs/E83K7L_SgNk/s320/IBU%2BBiathlon%2BWorld%2BChampionships%2BAoSY0gZefVel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By decision of the 8th IBU Congress&lt;/strong&gt;, the Biathlon World Championships 2012 will take place at Ruhpolding.
