First of all, this track looks NOTHING like the way it appears on ESPN2. You don't see the LOOOONG hill behind the starting line and can't really get the feel of how loooong the uphill area for stopping is. The mountains in the background remind me of home. You can't see the Rockies, just the smaller hills surrounding the area. The biggest challenge was adjusting to the altitude while trying NOT to pass out climbing the stairs by the bleachers (about 90 steep ones)LOL By the end of the weekend, the hill to The Pearl, where our pit area was, didn't seem all that big. Photos are posted on Facebook, go have a look!
