I have signed up for the <a href="http://www.steamboatsummer.com/info/events/sbcccalendarevent.marathon_08.item.asp" target="_blank">Steamboat Springs Marathon</a> ...June 1....... 
I will arrive a few days before.... 
It starts at about 8500 ft...down to about 6800 ft. 
I have NEVER run in altitude.... 
Any racing suggestions? 
How about anyone that has never trained in altitude...but raced there.....What was your experience?

You'll be a new member of the Mile High Club! 
Just the usual advice: Go early, get acclimated, stay hydrated, get plenty of sleep, and listen to your body.
