Jayfree I've PM'd you.
Arrived here Monday, got in, unpacked, went for a quick 5k run to check the effects of altitude- and discovered that anywhere I could eat was shut.
Tactical error!
Yesterday I took the bus to Boulder, which it would appear was the minimum requirement for the purchase of toothpaste, but that's now achieved, and I had a pleasant (if surprisingly small) dinner in a bar on the main drag.
My first nights run was a slow-to-tempo effort, around 23 minutes for 5k and I noticed that I was around 10bpm above where I'd expect to be for that effort level, basically I'm in Z3 when I'd expect Z2 etc.
Since then I ran twice yesterday and once today, higher output efforts are definitely harder but endurance pace seems unaffected (albeit with a higher heart rate).
All that aside I've got two days worth of cycling kit with me and I'm keen to get out over the weekend.
