Today's race was a 3x6k mixed relay - Walt was teamed up with two other US biathletes, Sara Studebaker and Jesse Downs. Walt scrambled and tagged off in third, just behind Tim Burke and the top Canadian team, which is where the team ended up. He shot clean again with no extra bullets and had one of the fastest range times of the day. Today was a better skiing day - he was a bit tired but put up a solid ski time - a great way to end the season. These last couple weeks have really motivated Walt, and he's fired up for the future - just the way you want to feel going into a long off-season.
And with that, the season is officially over (unless Nat has another 75k race planned that I haven't heard about). It's been a good one - we made a lot of progress, but there's more to be done, as always. I'll post a some thoughts about the season in the next few days - in the meantime, I'll be busy enjoying the great spring skiing at Pineland!
