Message: [QUOTE="Pinhead, post: 4550183, member: 9002"] I'm retired now at 3200FT, (done with serious winter), but lived much of my life at over 8000 including about 15 years at 9300. While I can't address the low-to-high altitude equation, I can relate that the handful of times I had the opportunity to work out at sea level, specifically road cycling, I felt like superman! If there's anything I've learned regarding people's reaction to altitude, it's that there does not seem to be much rhyme or reason to it, including their fitness level. I've never identified an "indicator" that might suggest such. Some suffer, some don't. Now getting a big pot of water to boil, growing a garden, enjoying a warm summer evening outdoors in shirtsleeves..., that's another matter! Personally, I find about 12K to be where I'm suddenly hit with a sack of bricks wrapped around my forehead. Oh, and GO UTES! [/QUOTE]
