How would you model Biathalon in GURPS?

For those who don't know that's a combination of cross-country skiing and rifle marksmanship.

Obviously Skiing (Nordic) and Guns (Rifle) are involved.

Fit/ Very Fit would be almost mandatory. Breath Control would be useful.

Controlling breathing to not disrupt your shooting is critical.

I'd say for each shooting phase you have to make a HT or Breath Control roll or suffer a penalty equal to the margin of failure to shooting.

The skiing part I'd do like a chase, but using Skiing instead of Running.

Thoughts?
