Take a deep breath, and get ready for the latest in Gilbertology: Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas is thinning the air in his house.

"I had my house converted to the Colorado altitude, so I am always above sea level," Arenas said Monday at the Wizards annual pre-training camp media day.

Say what? He's going to live at high altitude in the nation's capital?

"You know, that's kind of weird," Arenas said.

He'll get plenty of nods with that statement, but, yep, he's really doing it. Instead of going to the mountains to train -- as some endurance athletes do -- Arenas has hired a company to simulate those conditions in a home environment.

Very wierd. It's definetly going to help his basketball game, but I see his dates going down.

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to fly to Denver or wherever to train, he could fly out whenever he wants, this just doesn't make any sense (money wise to me). Oh I forgot he's rich.

That's pretty cool. It's really not a big deal. You wouldn't really notice the difference if you were to just visit his house, but over the long haul he will gain endurance.

A crazy man doing crazy things in a crazily imaginative way with crazily efficient results.
