She's Off...Tandy Racing This Morning

By 250 Sports

Whistler, B.C. -  Prince George Biathlete Megan Tandy is off-and-racing in the Women's 15-km Individual Race...

She left from the starting line at 10:43am...participating in her final individual event at the 2010 Winter Games.

87 competitors are taking part in the event...the staggered start has them leaving in 30-second intervals.

Analysts say the wind at the shooting range is interesting this morning...blowing inconsistently. 

A miss at the range means a 1-minute penalty is tacked onto the racer's time.

Tandy has really been the 'story' at the Games for Canada's Women's Biathlon team -- her 46th place finish in the 7.5-km Sprint earned her the title of first Canadian woman to qualify for the 10-km Pursuit.  She moved up 10 spots in that race, to finish in 36th.
