I live at sea level on Cape Cod. Flew into Denver (5000ft) and drove up to Ouray the following day. I think I would have done better if I had been more aerobically fit to begin with, but the air is definitely thinner up there!

Did you feel ok though? Did you get sick at all? Or just harder then normal. We are in pueblo colorado the whole month before does that count for anything?
