I have never swum at high altitude, so I have no idea how my body will react when I compete at the 2019 National Senior Games in Albuquerque. The meet is over a year from now, so I have plenty of time to prepare. How should I train for it when I currently live and train at near-sea level elevation? The difference in elevation between here and there is about 4,300 feet. The events I will be competing in will be: 400 IM, 200 Fly, 200 ***, 200 IM, 100 Fly, and 50 ***.
I am 56 years old, swim six days/week (averaging a total of 12-13,000 yds./wk; I trade off heavier days with lighter days), and do various forms of dryland after each swim (yoga, weights, Theraband exercises, etc.).
Thanks!

Ha! yes, remember we said that there shouldn't be many expectations of PRs or any other records. Just survive!
I'm so excited to get good Mexican food!! Since moving to Memphis, i haven't dared get any. :) Growing up in SoCal, NM and living in TX gets you spoiled on the really good stuff.
Ha! I grew up in Long Beach, graduated from SDSU, and stayed in San Diego for 24 years. When my husband retired, we moved to San Antonio, and then on to Georgia 4-1/2 years later. I hear ya on the Mexican food!
As you know from living there, the Mexican food in New Mexico is a lot different than the Baja-Mexican food in SoCal. It is FABULOUS! I did some research on Trip Advisor, and I have our restaurants all planned out, including a (very) early dinner before the Celebration of Athletes at "The Pit." Then, it's on to Santa Fe for more great New Mexican food! :dinner:
Kari, I have your number in my phone, so I will be in touch with you in ABQ!
