I was in Colorado Springs about a month ago for a week. It's at about 6,000 feet elevation.
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time catching my breathe. At the end of the week I was getting a little better, but a month at elevation would have been ideal.
It's also very dry there, they call it the high desert, 15% humidity.
You just don't arrive in Colorado Springs and perform at your best. There is a reason The Broncos are hard to beat at home! Good Luck
Taylor looks very strong at this time and looks to be a strong contender for the top spot here in colorado. He has now reached the semi final level and scheduled to compete tonite in the evening session. His calm demeaner and obvious skills make him a strong bet to take it all. He arrived here in Colorado a week early to make the elevation adjustment and it is clear that it is working well as he shows no signs of fatique at all during his bouts. His entire team's approuch has been very professional and all about being successful. Right now things look very well for Young Taylor. Chin from the honeycomb boxing gym.
