Summer biathlon

I took Lucy to a small running biathlon race in Albany yesterday. There were about a dozen competitors in this 6k event, with four shooting stages. The event was run relay style, in that you had three spare rounds - which needed to be hand loaded - in each shooting stage to clear your targets. As she was the youngest, she competed in the "sport category" only shooting prone at targets that were 30 instead of 50 meters away.

She only needed three spare rounds and had the fastest time of the day ... 36:34. (I did not register but ran the course for some exercise.)
