To Ketchum, Idaho-- or more specifically, Sun Valley, for a conference with A. The elevation is 5750 feet-- 400 feet higher than Denver-- and you realize it when you try to run. I was about a hundred yards into it when I realized that I was wheezing like a Basset Hound. "I can't be that out of shape," I thought-- "I did intervals last week!" "How high up are we?" I asked my running companion, and that's when I got the lowdown. We managed three miles, but we took a break at the turnaround.
I have four days of this, which is probably not enough to get properly acclimated. Next time I'll bring extra red blood cells.
