Another championship today for Walt in the 12.5k pursuit - he hit 17 of 20 targets to win the senior men's race, in spite of skiing an extra penalty loop by mistake (for some strange reason, one of his hits didn't fall until after he'd left the range). One junior racer skied the course 7 seconds faster, but Walt surely would have had the fastest time had he not skied the extra loop. Results at www.usbiathlon.com. One more race tomorrow - 20k mass start.
With two championships in two races, Walt's been invited to travel with the national team to Canadian Nationals next week. This is a great opportunity - the races will be held on the Olympic trails at Callaghan Valley, and a few World Cup skiers will be there. He's still not sure if he'll make the trip, since it would mean missing a few classes next week, but it's an honor to be invited in any case.
