I'm running three 10ks this weekend--some altitude, lots of driving...how will I fare?

9-hour drive Friday evening, 2-hour drive Saturday morning.

Flat road 10k Saturday morning at 4000'.

7-hour drive Saturday, 1/2-hour drive Sunday morning.

Hilly trail 10k Sunday morning at 9000'.

11-hour drive Sunday, 2.5-hour drive Monday morning.

Trail/road 10k Monday morning at 6000'.

(And a 9-hour drive Monday.)

I ran a track 10000 in 34:00 a couple months ago but I'm in better shape now.

I live at (basically) sea level.

The good news is, I've run at least 10 miles every day this year so I'm used to running/racing with no easy/off days or taper.

The bad news is, I'm still running 10 miles every day, so I won't have any rest days before this weekend.

Predictions?

I promise to come back next week and update everyone, unless I die.

Why do you want to do this? The driving sounds miserable. Your last two are going to feel brutal with heavy legs from driving and racing.

I like driving long distances. I also like running. I'm mostly doing this because I want to see what will happen.
