Elevation Training Mask

[GoPlayOutside]

Don't waste your money on the mask.  Especially for that elevation, and the type of elevation work you will be doing.
Take Ibuprofen during your accent and upon staying at that elevation.  This will help reduce the inflammation of brain swelling and head aches.  Your body will acclimate within 15-36 hours.  Drink lots of water, and eat food.  (Water and food help with acclimation and its affects). 
With this being said, you shouldn't need to worry about altitude effects at your altitude........as long as you do a little work and get in shape.

In 2007 on Mt. Everest, my team/party and a majority of the mountain partook in a major altitude medication study.  We were given Ibuprofen, Diamox, Dex (steroid), placebo, etc.  Some results of the study came to a conclusion that Ibuprofen helped just as well as many other "high altitude" specific meds.  It specifically relieved the altitude headache problems and aches.  and believe me, the headaches are real bad.  Due to the swelling and fluid loss, it feels like your brain is being squeezed out the spinal cord hole in your skull.
