Now you're starting to sound like someone from Denver.

Lol, stop jerking off

If you really think you can be at the stadium by noon you should do it Dave. Are you considering how the altitude would affect your run?

Not as much as I should be.

You live close to sea level, right Dave?

Yeah - will it hit me really hard?

Yes it will. I live at 2500 feet and I got fairly winded walking up to the top of the stadium.

I wasn't as well conditioned as you are, but I was in decent shape at the time. I had a regular maintenance routine at the gym back then.

I'm not sure what the elevation in Boulder is, but Denver is over 8k feet.

I think i might look for a 10km rather than the half marathon then.

I do like going for runs in new places - i remember running into the wrong part of cape town and into a south african township - hopefully Denver will not be quite as eventful!

Dave, it will kick you in your face. I felt fine until mile 3 and then the fatigue set in. I was definitely getting less oxygen and I was spent. I made it through to mile 6 but my times got worse each mile, and by mile 5-6 I felt like I was dragging two lead weights.

Whatever impact you think it will have, double it.

I need to remember - Colorado is probably about the size of the UK - so i need to keep checking things out with you natives.

Where is this in relation to Downtown Denver, Mile High and Boulder??? "Prairie Gateway trail in Commerce City"

I would use Google maps if I were you Dave.

I have and to me, it looks really close to downtown Denver, I just want to check

Never heard of the trail but commerce city is not close. It's like a 20-30 minute drive from Denver.

Edit- should also add it's not close to Boulder either...probably farther.
