Anyone in the biathlon world who is under 26 years old is now here in Otepaa in Estonia where they are hosting this years European U26 Championships.

I arrived late on Saturday with my team mates and our 4 support staff.  Sunday was spent getting our bearings, checking out the course and the range.

The women’s races are in the afternoon, which makes for quite chilled out mornings, getting up for breakfast and mobility then leaving for official training after lunch.  So far it has been snowing quite a lot and pretty windy, so conditions could be quite tough tomorrow, but the course is fun to ski and the downhill approach into the range should suit us after training in Ruhpolding all year.

It is the 15km individual in the morning and I’m hoping it goes better than my other individual races this year! (I didn’t finish in Ridnaun)  Ski’s have been tested, prone shooting is going well, I just need to relax for my stand shooting and make sure I pace well for 15km.

I think Eurosport may be showing some of the European Champs, not sure about tomorrow’s race, but the sprint on Saturday should be shown live if anyone wants to watch and play ’spot the Brit’!!!
