Today we drove to the top of Pikes Peak elevation 14,115. There is a marathon that runs up Pikes Peak then back down. Reasons to never run this race:
7000 feet of elevation gain.
7000 feet of elevation loss.
Lack of oxygen.
At the top I could tell that there was less oxygen but felt good. They had a paramedic at the top to assist those that did not feel well. I think running has helped me feel well in altitude. However. I do not want to run a marathon here.
