2 Days To Go!
The Event
I'll be running from the town of Silver Plume to Georgetown, Colorado. Silver Plume is at 9,200 feet in altitude. Georgetown is at 8,600 feet in elevation. So, most of the 4 mile race will be run at a high elevation and most of it will be run downhill.
Carlos ran it last year (while I ran the half). He said that the course starts uphill before a dramatic downhill course.
All of us work a swing shift. All of us will have to be at Georgetown by 7:00 am (parked and ready to pick up the race packet). The last bus leaves for the start line @ 7:15 AM. The race starts at 8:00 AM.
It should be interesting! Looking forward to it!
Will there be pictures? Of course!

OMG, that's serious elevation. Oh yeah, you live in Colorado, your lungs are used to it. Good luck with your race, I know you'll do great!!
Wow, that is high altitude! I don't think I've ever run higher than 6000 feet and that was a chore. But for you, perhaps the hardest part will simply be getting up early :-)
FUN! Good luck, Charlie!
