I had the best race of my career yesterday, shooting 1-1-0-0 and finishing 21st, just over 11% behind the winner.  When I crossed the line I was in 14th postion and had a nail biting wait to see if I stayed in the top 20.  Unfortunately I was just squeezed out of the top 20 unlike my team mate Amanda Lightfoot, who skied 14 seconds faster than me to finish 19th.  It is really encouraging to see what is possible when all the elements of biathlon come together in one race!  Nerys Jones, competing in her first ever 15km individual race, put in a great ski to finish 47th overall. 

Us girls have a couple of days to gather ourselves ready for the 7.5km sprint race on Saturday, but we will be out on the course tomorrow afternoon supporting our boys who race in the 4×7.5km mens relay.
