Next Race: Xterra Crested Butte CO-Jul 30th

A doozy with an average course altitude of 9,300 feet! No, that's not a typo! 1K Swim, 24K Mtn bike, 9K Run & an Xterra licenced pro field for 2006. Not that I'm anywhere near pro-level, but the race is sold out and will be quite competitive. I'm finding I get motivated to "throw my hat in the ring" for these kind of races. It's a long journey, but I like to think, remember?

man... I wish I was going to this race. Maybe next year. I am doing the Xterra at Snow Valley the following weekend (8/6). You coming out for that one?

Good luck at the race this weekend!

I cheated and already looked at the results. Congrats.

I need some advice from you. I will racing this weekend at Snow Valley and it will be my first time racing at altitude.

Top Elevation: 7841'
Base Elevation: 6800'

Can you give some advice on how to acclimate. Unfortunately I will not have chance to get up there and pre-ride until the day before.

kinda nervous...
