Rengaw ~ We're all different; meaning we adapt at different rates. So, I can't say whether you'll acclimate in time for Peachtree. However, it usually takes about three weeks; providing one is training consistently and appropriately (effort) in the affected environmental conditions. The excessive heat and humidity will also impinge on your training for an additional three weeks (est.), due to the weeks involved trying to adapt.

Note: Be aware that the new route on Juniper will provide a much tougher last mile than 10^th Street; uphill and narrower.

Bottom Line ~ It's the reason we call it Hotlanta.
