Thanks for the info to all,

let me say this... I dont know yet exactly where it will take place so when I say 3000ft thats at a minimum for the area where I know it will take place. The max could go up to 6k or so. That said I hope its at the lower end of the range.

Elevation mask... heard about them and bought something similar last year, BAS RUTTEN'S O2 TRAINER... nothing but mixed reviews on these types of products and the validity of the claims on what they do. It does help the strength of the pull of my lungs, makes workouts harder but harder workouts when doing less may not really be a benefit because I am not pushing myself to my true point of exhaustion so I never push past that wall in a workout when using the device...

EPO as in Lance Armstrong illegal drugs... or is there some other legal EPO that I am unaware of? Blood doping etc... HAHA I dont think there is a legal means of either. If I said I didn't think about it I would not be telling the truth. That said I have heard that they can be dangerous.
