The altitude of the city ranges from 4,900 feet (1,490 m) above sea level near the Rio Grande (the Nile of North America) to over 6,700 feet (1,950 m) in the foothill areas of Sandia Heights and Glenwood Hills. At the airport, the elevation is 5,352 feet (1,631 m) above sea level.

Of course, I agree with the coach Retta Feyissa that nothing beats Addis Ababa, which sits on a plateau 2400 m (8000 ft.) above sea level. That’s why runners who train in Ethiopia will always be on top!

But it is also about the will to win. The power of the brain.

It’s not 13 months of sunshine, but wouldn’t the sunshine state of Florida be better than Albuquerque, New Mexico?
