With high, dry temperatures and an elevation of 5,430 feet above sea level, Boulder, Colorado is a challenging venue for an IRONMAN Triathlon, especially if you’re coming from sea level.

The goal then is to optimize your performance on race day in the given conditions.
In this short video, David Glover, MSE, MS, CSCS shares 4 practical tips for racing in the heat and elevation in IRONMAN Boulder, especially if you are coming from sea level, so that you can perform at your best on race day.
