John, your respiratory rate = 62/minute on the bottom section of Columbine. Same at top of Powerline. The work of breathing and water loss from breathing is insane!! Kudos!!

cool video

[@Behine.DeChilis]

This is fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to make this. What camera/battery setup are you using? I've tried to do similar videos with GoPro/Insta360, but battery life is uite limited.

[@johnalderson191]

For anything longer than 45 mins or so, you really have to look at an external power supply. I use Anker 5000 & 10,000 mAh battery banks with either GoPro or DJI Osmo4. With the 10,000 mAh, the longest video I've gotten is just over 8 hours. I don't know how much longer I could have gone with it. There are some articles out there that give some numbers on what a GoPro consumes per hour in basic filming.

[@Behine.DeChilis]

@@johnalderson191 very cool, excellent info. I will look for one of the 10,000 mAh packs and go from there. Thanks!

Hi what program or method are you using to overlay the data onto the screen?

[@johnalderson191]

For this Leadville series and the BikeUtah Midweek MTB series in 2022, I am using Dashware which is owned by GoPro but not in active development. I've also used Garmin VirbEdit, which is also not in active development. Both can work and both are free. I like Dashware's sync function and their gauge builder. I make sure to have the GoPro running before the race starts so I can sync off of the beep of my Garmin as I start that. I can see and hear that on screen and get a good sync.

Respiratory rate near Columbine summit = 100/minute!!!

Tell me can anyone do the Leadville 100 or you have to qualify

[@johnalderson191]

Anyone can enter but demand for entry is very high so you have to try to get in via lottery or you can get a coin at designated qualifier events by either podiuming in your age category or there are usually 25-50 additional coins given away in a mini-lottery. That's how I got my entry for this years race was a coin at the Tahoe Trail 100.
