📣Training Tip 📣

The Donner Lake Triathlon takes place at more than 6,000 feet above sea level. Ideally, if you have the time and resources, athletes should plan a training camp at altitude 4-5 weeks before the race. This allows your body enough time to acclimatize to the thinner air, which will boost your red blood cell production and enhance your endurance on race day. 🏊‍♀️🏃🚴‍♂️💪
