Good luck, are you going to try out the home high altitude equipment or just turn up as close to the race start and hope you are OK?

Thanks! Both, I hope. The hypoxic mask / tent rental is very expensive (about £500 per month) and they recommend that you have 6 weeks of "exposure" - so I'm not sure I can do that on my own - but I will be looking for some corporate sponsorship to cover those costs. I will definitely be turning up just 48hrs before the race as I can't afford much time off work.
