More Altitude Preparation...

2nd Day out here in the Rockies. Morning trail run in Buena Vista, then spent the day up at Leadville, had lunch just down the street from the start/finish of the Leadville 100 (which was here last week). Did some 4 wheeling to checked out the old mines in the mountains above Leadville, got up to about 12,000 ft for a while. Then drove around Turquoise Lake and started heading back to Buena Vista. Passed a sign that said North America's Highest Golf Course. We couldn't resist. A 2 hour (9 hole) walk at 10,000ft was exactly what we needed... Mt. Massive Golf Club. I was hitting my 8 iron like 200+ yards, crazy!

I'd say 2 strokes a hole is about right for inheritance rights to Shirley's golfing gene pool!
