Leadville here we come!

I signed up for a lottery to be in the LT100 or the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race.  It is in Leadville Colorado in August.  I really didn't think it would happen but it was a great excuse to buy the bike I wanted etc..  Well, after some interesting calls  and a week later I found out that I got in, and so did Mike and Steve O.  We will be training like mad for one of the most grueling races in the US the highest altitude Mountain Bike race in the US.  I heard that Lance and Floyd Landis would be there, seems like Lance is waffling a bit but Floyd may still be in.  That would be awesome just to meet those guys.  Here is the race profile below.  14,400 feet of climbing between 9600ft altitude and 12600.  I am so psyched up about this.
First the skyview top right is start and finish line, to the closest point being the peak at 12600 ft.
