Idling in the office I thought I'd see who Magda Neuner was. Don't!!! Poor girl has forgotten to put her jumper on in one of the pictures and I spilt my tea all over the desk!

Hah! I have watched the fighting fives (Military Pentathlon) doing it over the last few years and if they are anything to go by I will give it a miss. I do like watching the DK Army training and some of the girls are horribly fit, they can run rings around some of the lads and they are cute as well. I had one constantly offering me cake last year, she assured me it was from the best cake maker in Denmark. Looking at her I doubt she was eating a great deal of it :lol:

She is a pretty thing

From Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biathlon
Two common variations on traditional winter biathlon are summer biathlon, where skiing is replaced by a cross-country run, and archery biathlon (or ski archery), where the rifle is replaced by a recurve bow.

There have also been summer competitions in roller-ski biathlon, mountain bike biathlon and orienteering biathlon. Primitive Biathlon uses snowshoes and muzzleloaders.

The Boy Scouts of America offers a Bikeathlon variant at their national Scout jamboree that mixes BMX biking with air rifle shooting at biathlon type targets.[5]

Cadets Canada also offers biathlon to cadets across Canada, with three stages; zones, provincial and national. Zone competitions are occasionally, due to lack of snow in some southern areas, held as summer biathlon. A .22LR caliber rifle is used at all levels. Races are shorter than world class events. More information can be found at the National Cadet Biathlon Championship website.[6]

The World Police and Fire Games, as well as the Western States Police and Fire Games (USA), offer a summer variant which combines cross-country running with service pistol shooting.

Ulfborg has many esoteric pistol ranges out in the forest, I wonder if that is what they are for.

I had a half arsed look into this a while ago thinking there would be a summer type version of the event in the UK, how naive! Being fairly fit I thought it'd be brilliant fun. I hate the UK :cry:
