Day 3: sprint

Sorry I didn't post last night we were pretty busy! So here's a summary of yesterday's events. We started the morning with a run and dynamic warmup to wake us all up someone told me it was -31 outside when it's was really only -20 so I bundled in almost all of my clothes to go outside, I swear I looked just like the Michelin man! After our warmup we headed back to our rooms to dry fire and then had breakfast. Once everyone was fed we left for Otway ( the hill ) and were greeted by Mr.PG a big blowup man that looked like it was made of wood! It was too cold to run the race at the set time so they delayed it half an hour. Zero started at 9:30 and the race started at 10:30 with the senior boys. The trails were groomed beautifully and were very wide which was great with some many racers! We all skied a 6km sprint with three loops of the incredibly hilly red loop except Nick who had a 10km sprint ( which isn't much of a sprint ) and did three loops of the blue. There is no wind here so that made the shooting a lot easier! If you'd like to access the results you can find them at the biathlon bc website on the first page! Everyone from our groups races were done by noon so we had lunch there and were out by around 1:15. When we came back we had some downtime before dinner so Sarah and I went to the label outlet store right by the hotel and scored a few deals, we also made a stop at dollarama which lead to an impulse buy of neon poster paper and stick on rhinestones so we made an amazing team poster that took forever to make! After lots of free time we went out to Boston Pizza for dinner with the team, when we were finished there we went to the awards night at civic plaza, we were a little late but we made it for a few more medals to be handed out unfortunately not to any of us. We were invited to " stay and mingle" but after eating out we all just wanted to go back to the hotel and sleep! I guess this happened after I posted the blog but on training day after we came back to the hotel I went to find something to eat in the fridge so I looked in the freezer too, I pulled out a brown package that I thought was an ice pack...until I read it and saw that said steak on it! It was so gross so we called the front desk and asked them to take it out which they did, it was really gross though! But is was a good day other wise!
