Just got back from 10 days in Quito, Ecuador (second highest city capital).
Went mountain biking on a volcano (Cotopaxi) at about 12,000 ft. While most of it was downhill, the few uphills were bizzare. Although I didn't have a HR monitor on, I didn't feel like I was at my max HR - nevertheless I have never breathed that heavy. My proudest moment came when I beat the guide up the longest uphill -almost threw up too...
Now I and all my extra red blood cells are ready to dominate on my weekly bike ride; the air is so thick down here, I feel like I need to swim through it!
