[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2913090, member: 116181"] That's no fun! Ahh see, I made the 🐴-sumption you were talking about AMS, which is what I meant by the "puking phase" that some people get initially. I agree 100% that over-exertion (and to add, dehydration) are the leading causes of problems people have at altitude. They (maybe unintentionally) try to do MORE than were they came from, and end up fighting a double-whammy of over-extending and losing max performance. Heck, I've done that double-whammy thing to myself before. Went on a cycling trip in CO and rode a couple of nice 40-50 mile rides in Denver then Loveland Pass, Vail Pass, a bunch of stuff around Frisco/Breck area. Figured what the heck, I'll ride Mt Evans. Only 30 miles right, but the 4k foot non-stop elevation gain, a 22% grade at one point, and going over 12,000 feet defiantly went past what my heart could handle 🤣 Was not in any way prepared for that even after a week of being up there and riding. Not sure I could have handled that ride even at 17 years old when I lived there and ran track. [/QUOTE]
