<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>Hi Marc,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3> Thanks for putting this out. I'm sure
several Washington biathletes will make the trip if it doesn't conflict with our
schedule. We have events as follows. I hope some of our
friends from other areas make a trip to Washington this summer... we have some
great, well run races. If it's possible to schedule your races with
these dates in mind, we'd love it.</FONT></DIV>

<P>
<DIV>Hello All:</DIV>
<DIV>We are trying to schedule our annual West Yellowstone Summer Biathlon and
are interested in input from potential regional participants.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Bozeman Biathlon (MT Big Sky State Games) is the same weekend as the
Summer National Champs. We usually try to have our races in West and BZN
on the same weekend so that travelers can get 2 races in for their travel
time/dollar. However, if lots of folks are planning on travelling to
Lake Placid for Nationals/ WCh Team Trials anyway we would schedule the West
Yellowstone race on a different weekend (Likely late June). If we did do
a different weekend than Bozeman we would have one formal race and I would be
willing to help organize a 'time trial' on the second day in order to give you
some more racing for your travel time/dollar.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any thoughts?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
