Who am I?

My name is Rosanna Crawford, I was born and raised in Canmore, AB and started cross country skiing by the time I could walk! At the age of 10 I started biathlon and fell in love! Something about the challenge of skiing and shooting really stuck with me and being able to hang out with your friends wasn't too bad either! At 14 I got to compete in my first National Champs and got a taste of what it was like to race on a bigger scale! By 16 I was on the National team and trying to make international teams. In 2008 I competed in my first World Youth and Junior Championships in Ruhpolding, Germany. That was when I got hooked!
I train full time out of Canmore and spend my winters racing all over Canada and Europe. Follow along as I compete and train all around the World!
It is here that I hope to keep you up to date on my training and racing. I would not be able to do what I love without the support of my family and sponsors, so a big shout out to you guys!
Now what is biathlon you might ask. Biathlon combines the physical exertion of cross country skiing and the challenge of rifle marksmanship. Skiing is always skate technique and shooting is either laying down on your stomach (prone) or standing up (standing).

On the road again

It feels like just yesterday I was back in Canmore ready to enjoy some good skiing and glorious sunshine and already too soon it is time to pack up the bag and hit the road again. But while I was in Canmore I got to enjoy some time with friends and family and had some great skis around Canmore.

I also got to get out with Canmore Nordic for a fun night of shooting and skiing! 

Brendan and I up at Mt. Shark for an amazing day of skiing!

On Monday we make our way to Presque Isle, Maine for WC#7 and then Fort Kent, Maine for WC#8. From there we will have a training camp in Italy before going to Russia for World Championships. The last stop of the season will be Canadian Champs in Charlo, N.B. 
I am excited for the next set of races and it will be cool to do some races in North America and to have some family there to cheer me on! 
Enjoy the rest of winter and I will be sure to keep you all posted on the second half of my season! 
Cheers 
Rosanna
