I will be doing the Ironman in Zurich, Switzerland, and I currently live at an altitude of under 800 feet above sea level. Will I get adjusted after a week there?
I was watching an old western movie (mclintock) and they mentioned that they were 6000 feet above sea level (around mesa verde), and I wondered how could they possibly figure that out with the limited technology that they had?
I live 13 feet above sea level haha. I live on the beach(:
When playing golf in Puerto Vallarta on an ocean coarse my ball traveled about 10% less than in northern California on a regular day of say 80 degrees at sea level. In Puerto Vallarta it was 27 feet above sea level and about 92 degrees with high humidity.
I need to know the height of Calgary. I have been told that it is very high above sea level. I was also reading on the web about Altitude Sickness and that it is caused if you are at least 8000 feet above sea level. Is this going to be an issue for me when I go to Calgary in October?
