Boulder, Co High Altitude training.

The Route
Elevation
Summary
Just being silly
Running at 8800

Well, attempted my first training at high Colorado, near Nederland north of Boulder, CO. Tamara was on the bike for support as I ran. The first 3 miles.. I labored my breathing. My heart rate was about 165 at a 10 min mile pace. While my normal is about 8:30 at about 130. It took me about 3 miles for my lungs to acclimate. My head was pounding and my breathing was labored. I had to stop about 6 times in the first 3 miles. After that, I started to feel better and start cruising faster.

It was fun... beautiful day.
