Also time to check out the hands-free punching system, all you have to do is get within about a foot of the punch and it’s recorded electronically, no need to stop. If you’re going downhill, that can save a lot of time, as long as you don’t miss.

More photos and a video of Alex on the model course are at the USA Team blog:
