Spot on. Three years ago I was undertrained and not use to the altitude. I came up on a 75 year old guy and talked to him for a while, then went on. I got altitude sick and DNF. Probably a combination of lack of specific training, push at Threshold and altitude. When I was on the side of the road and loading up, I saw him come on by. He knew his speed and power limits, and although slow I’m sure he made it. I have had a good two months on base and build and will continue for another month, until it is warm here. Then switch to sweet spot longer and longer intervals 2-3 times a week.
