Mount Evans Ascent - another disappointing race, though this time there was a clear problem and a simple solution. Cut 1 minute off last year’s time and moved up in the rankings, but I missed my goal by 5 minutes. This time, it was clear from the start that doing no altitude training at all, for a race that finishes at over 14,000’ was not smart. I was breathing hard the whole way, which made it difficult to stay properly hydrated, which added to the altitude induced light-headedness and nausea. The bright side is that I know I could have easily cut 5 minutes off the time, had I done even some moderate altitude training. Better head up to the mountains. I can’t afford to use this excuse again.
