So. . . I'm guessing that if I don't have altitude training and cold water temp training that I can't just throw on a B70, try and have any decent shot at finishing it?
They had this as the national championship in 2006. I believe everybody finished. I did not train altitude or for cold (not like 68 is that cold). I'm certain you will be fine (possibly a little slower than expected).
