BAY 1: Biathlon at Routt County Rifle Club

Biathlon at Routt County Rifle Club pairs cross-country skiing or running with .22 rifle marksmanship—it's a genuine test of how straight you shoot when your heart's hammering and your legs are spent. This intermediate event forces you to manage adrenaline and fatigue while hitting targets, which is way different from shooting fresh off the line.

You'll alternate between the course and the firing line, and misses cost you penalty laps or added time. It's the kind of competition that separates trigger control from cardio fitness, so come ready to push hard both ways.
