Well... it's really high up and really cold. The course is sweet. A 7 mile climb and a sweet 3 mile descent. I have some pictures but I don't know how to upload them so if someone does I'll email them and put them up.

Tomorrow morning at 8 is the short track race. It's supposed to be 24 degrees at the start. I'll post up and say how it goes.

Well it's 2 AM and I just got home. New Mexico was awesome. I somehow found lungs up there and got 9th in the Short Track and 6th in the Cross Country out of a field of 60 or so.

Short track was extremely painful and after a really crappy start and some choking on my own mucus I moved up enough spots to keep from being pulled and finish in the top 10.

The Cross Country started in a snow storm. The course climbed 2200' before descending all the way back down and doing it again. I managed to finish 6th, 1:30 off of the podium :( . The good news is I was the highest place lowlander and I dropped a bunch of guys from Colorado.

Last night was insane as well. The banquet started off as a food fight followed by people having bikes stolen, naked crit races, and severe injuries.
