From Sea Level to 10,000 Feet

I'm a little nervous!  I leave on Saturday for Leadville, Colorado where I'll ride in the Leadville 100mile mountain bike race.  Leadville starts at about 10,000 feet and goes up to about 13,000.  I am wondering how my body will do...I arrive on Monday with the race the following Saturday.  If I get altitude sickness I should have time to acclimate before the race.



I've had lots of good advice about everything you could imagine and I feel like I am as prepared as I can be.  I will definately have an experience!

I am glad that my daughter and her boyfriend will be driving out and Doug later flying out to support me during the race.  Unfortunately my son can't make it - more importantly he is at marching band camp for his senior year at BHS. 

There is still time to support me through a donation to the Alzheimers Association in honor of my dad who died 25 years ago.  So far, you have helped raise about $1500!  That is so awesome and thank you!  If you'd still like to make a donation, click this link.

Well, wish me luck!!

Committed to your good health,
Robin Robertson
