[CBCmembers] Information

[Walter Warwick]

Hi Katie (and other lurking CBC newcomers),

  As I'm sure you know, a safety certification is a strict pre-requisite for
racing. But if you're just interested in learning more about the sport, come
out and watch a race. Our last race of the season will be held at Snow
Mountain Ranch on Saturday March 13. Schedule and details will soon follow
(and they will be posted on our web page, www.coloradobiathlon.org). We will
always welcome volunteers to help run the events (and there are many
positions that can be staffed with little or no actual race experience), but
we have lots of cow bells too if you just want to watch and cheer.

  For an e-introduction, if you have been assimilated by the Comcast
machine, you can watch re-runs of all of the Olympic biathlon races to date
on-line at NBC.com (follow the links to the Olympic video section). The
reruns include "encore" presentations of the races NBC actually covered with
commentary plus full replays of the raw, un-commentated Olympic TV feed
(cool to watch, but perhaps less educational). I'd also recommend a visit to
www.biathlonworld.com or www.usbiathlon.org.

  Finally, if anyone else out there is interested in helping out with our
last race, please let me know.

thanks, and hope to see lots of you at the races!
Walter, CBC President
