The point of the altitude work is not training, my race is in two weeks so the training is effectively all done.

The point is data collection- understanding what kind of power decrement I should expect at race altitude, figuring out what my HR is going to do, experiencing the RPE for the race effort at that altitude and what parameters I should be using to pace my races. There are all things that will help me to race technically well.
