Meg's got a good point about taking some trips up there to see what happens at altitude

This year is not an option. I'm not ready and the best case scenario is that it goes merely bad.

Worst case scenario is that I get hurt or need an extended recovery which screws up my current training.

My third and perhaps last marathon ;-)

Responses:

there are a bunch of factors to consider besides altitude like the angle of how steep some of the run is -- nm* - Peglegpete Aug 23, 17:10 5
- *nod*. Profile map and Google map fly over give some idea of that - JD Aug 23, 17:15
- And it looks like the top is the steepest...then you have to walk back down to the chairlift. -- nm - Meg Aug 23, 17:14 3
  - That's one things that had me just laughing / rolling my eyes. Wait. I ran all the way up this mtn and I have to walk back to the chairlift?!?! - JD Aug 23, 17:22
  - yeah. JD needs to know if the course is friendly to his style of running, + 650 others who may be jammed near him for most of the time. -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 23, 17:17 1
    - I'm good on hills compared to average runner on average course - JD Aug 23, 17:24
