The bottom chart.

Note it only factors elevation, not density altitude.

This year has been relatively cool weather-wise for us, so we've had more runs in the 8xxx DA than 9xxx, which has been norm in summers past. I've seen it over 10,000' more than once.

Lowest DA I've ever run was 900' on a cool Sunday morning (7:09 a.m.) at the Div V ET finals in Topeka in 2002. That was our first and only time trial before eliminations - which started for Sportsman at 2:30 that afternoon - DA had climbed to the 1500' range by then.

 

thanks
i couldn't believe they actually list anaconda!
just correcting to sea level it ran a 7.61 let alone how HOT it was !
