Thanks
: Hi Mark,
:
: sounds fun. When racing at altitude you can
: either acclimate short term (arrive 1 day
: before the event) or longer term (10+ days
: before the event). The worst period is
: during adjustment from 3-10 days so if the
: race is on a Saturday, arriving Friday would
: be best, Tuesday would be bad.

: Marty,
: In Oct. my wife and I were heading out to
: Denver for a little R&R. There is a new
: marathon in Denver and I was thinking about
: doing it. How hard would it be since Denver
: is a mile above sea level? The course did
: say it was flat and I don't care so much
: about my time. I would like to use this as
: a warm up for a strong marathon in Feb.
: Would I be crazy to run it? I did run 7
: miles out there a few years ago and it
: seemed fine.
