Have any of you tried cooking at altitude? It does take some different strokes. I remember the food stories Ben told when he was, I think, fourteen or fifteen.He loved the place then too. While he was there, His sister Susan and I were driving somewhere back east. We were near Idaho Falls, ID when Mom calls and tells us that Ben wants us to stop by Colorado Springs for lunch, the next day. It was a thousand miles, we made it. Was good food too.

Ben eats like a sorority girl. When I was at the OTC, I sat across from some Greco-Roman wrestling Olympic medalist who was piling his way through three steaks... ... for lunch. During our conversation, he noted that he's never seen such consistent gluttony as with male swimmers. He said that, yes, he eats a lot, but it's part of his training. It was an activity he tolerated, not one he particularly enjoyed. The swimmers, he marveled, gorged themselves with gusto, meal after meal. I just listened. My mouth was too full to respond.

They will be sure to take that Collins kid off the roster in 09 as they can likely feed the entire US Men's and Women's gymnastics team for the same price. They should also put up a sign that says "nothing tastes as good as being fast". I know that this is costing the USOTC at least $200 a week to feed you at a minimum.
