BAY 1: Biathlon

Bay 1 is a biathlon that pairs cross-country skiing or running with rifle markshooting at distance. You'll move between the two disciplines, and missed shots mean penalty laps—so your cardio endurance gets tested right alongside your trigger control.

This intermediate-level event at Routt County Rifle Club combines the mental focus needed for precision shooting with the physical demand of sustained effort. It's a legit test of how well you shoot when you're breathing hard and fatigued, which translates directly to field performance.
