Not enough air in Colorado... :) <br /><br />Joking aside, I think that if you had enough acclimation you would have done extremely well. <br /><br />Glad to have you back.. :)Luis Velasquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551703905884725719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-8677555905897683392009-07-14T09:10:15.991-07:002009-07-14T09:10:15.991-07:00Thanks for your blog, Caitlyn.

Disappointment for nothin'!<br /><br />See you in the AC100. Only a little over 9 weeks left!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00931777618785722256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-24912730932717518092009-07-13T19:46:21.401-07:002009-07-13T19:46:21.401-07:00don't let this race get to you... I think you ...don't let this race get to you... I think you still did stellar given the conditions and competition. Plus, you'll kick everyone's ass even more this week with all that altitude training under your belt.Dave - Atlanta Trailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870521955679174148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-716607146351108492009-07-13T07:47:50.512-07:002009-07-13T07:47:50.512-07:00Good for you to come out and mix it up!

Some of the best women in the mountain running world were there - http://mountainrun.wordpress.com/<br /><br />Altitude effects everyone very differently, as GZ said, but while most people can run at altitude, it's hard to compete effectively w/o 3 weeks of acclimatization. You ran a time that would have won many years.<br /><br />Cheyenne Canon will be much faster; the course does not really reflect the conditions the National Team will encounter in Italy in September - <br />http://mountainrunning.com/race.php<br /><br />A move to Colorado would solve these issues! :-)Buzzhttp://adventurerun.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-32068049408980188142009-07-13T07:05:37.912-07:002009-07-13T07:05:37.912-07:00C, if you wanted some redemption against altitude,...C, if you wanted some redemption against altitude, the Cheyenne Canon Mountain Race (8K) is in Co Springs on 7/26. It's the 2nd and final selection race for the US mountain running team that will go to Italy for worlds this year. It will surely be a tough course and a competitive field, but could be fun and you should definitely be in the mix. <br /><br />Hope your recovery and TransRockies prep goes well!Justin Mockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16172731732367510550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-28948774906148952132009-07-13T05:03:58.525-07:002009-07-13T05:03:58.525-07:00Caitlyn - check out Chuckie V's post on HR, al...Caitlyn - check out Chuckie V's post on HR, altitude ... http://chuckiev.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-goes-up.html.<br /><br />I think the science in terms of response to altitude is very general at this point. In other words, I don't think there have been any definitive studies to state responses to altitude - but I think that is because there is very significant variability from individual to individual (what elevation, how they react, etc) and that changes over time (as how they adapt). We are all an experiment of 1 I guess!<br /><br />Considering what you were dealing with - you ran a great race! Nice job! Again, great meeting you and Will. It'd be great to meet up for some easy miles when you swing back for TR.GZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623054918799881730noreply@blogger.com
