During Bronco's games I always here about the 'mile high advantage' where teams might not perform as well because they aren't used to the altitude. I always thought it was a bit of a joke, but I'm a believer now. After spending a couple of days up there I was able to get through the day pretty well, but I had a few headaches. But exerting myself is where the differences really showed up. I wasn't able to work out as long, I was breathing harder at lower levels of exertion, and I was sweating up a storm so staying hydrated was a real problem. I can see why people train up there.
