    Something on the Light Side: The Other News

    Time to take a breath on this Wednesday. It’s a break from doping news, and the latest wax story will have to wait until at least the end of the week. Even the uptempo training spray must await.

    Time to slow down.

    Here’s just a very small sample (in four images) of the light, the fall color, and love from Instagram.

  • USBA Junior Worlds Trials At Jericho, Vermont

    The Ethan Allen Biathlon Club will be hosting the 2011 United States
    Biathlon Association (USBA) Youth/Junior World Team Trials and the
    USBA/Biathlon Canada North American Cup #2 at the Ethan Allen Firing
    Range in Jericho, Vermont on December 27th to 30th, 2010. Results of
    the Youth/Junior World Team Trials will determine the athletes that
    will be selected to compete and represent the United States in the
    Youth/Junior World Championships in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic,
    January 27th through February 6th, 2011.

    The Ethan Allen biathlon facilities were originally built to be a
    state of the art facility and remain one of the top biathlon centers
    in the United States. The facilities include a 30 point range, more
    than 18 kilometers of established trails, snow making, waxing huts, 6
    kilometers of paved and lighted roller skiing a large meeting building
    as well as toilet facilities, showers, and a kitchen, and a separate
    building at the finish line dedicated to timing operations. The range
    is located approximately 30 minutes from Burlington, Vermont, a
    beautiful city with a population of approximately 39,000 situated on
    the shore of Lake Champlain and the edge of the Green Mountains. The
    area is easily accessed by Burlington International Airport with
    regular connections to major airline hubs and can be reached from most
    of the Northeast by interstate highways.
