Practices at Elk River bi-weekly

MN Biathlon in cooperation with the Elk River Parks Dept has been trying to put together a series of practices twice a week at the ER facility. This would be in addition to the already scheduled Thurs the 25th of June which might already be full [10 athletes].

Currently we are looking at Mondays and Thursdays. We are working on the time of day:

Mid morning to avoid rush hour
Early afternoon to avoid late afternoon rush
Evenings while we have long daylight

We may end up with different times of day on Mondays vs Thursdays. And as we are looking at two of us to be the alternate facilitators on Mondays—could end up with alternating times on that day.

So please let me know a] if you are interested and b] if so rank the days/ times you would prefer.

I am considering starting this on Thursday the 18th of June. As I pointed out above, the 25th might already be full. Otherwise open to any athlete who has their own /or leased rifle.

We would need to have a sign up program for each practice to a] avoid overfilling the range – so 10 max per practice and b] to be sure the facilitator has someone coming. More on that later. Each practice will have a shooting/combo plan that is structured to match the MN Biathlon training plans. We still are planning a race on Thursday the 16th of July—and that will not have a 10 person limit.

Thank you for getting back to me as soon as possible.
