Now that I'm within 1-3 hours drive of more 14er's than I can probably ever climb considering my advanced age. :o ...
As the move settles in I've got to get ready for next season with some off season training. Stairs were my main tool back in Sugar Land to simulate "going up" and yesterday we had a chance to go to Red Rocks and see what's what.
Lot's of stairs....in elevation... uhmm.... "ouch".
1.5 trips with my .5 jumping bleachers instead of taking the steps (cuz I saw somebody else doing it) was enough for an introductory lesson in cardio above sea level.
Lungs - toast
Head - dizzy
legs - wobbled
Nice intro but I'm not ready for a big bite yet, I see how you could kill yourself or at least wind up in an embarrassing situation of being flat on your back and begging strangers for air if you try to tackle it too soon.
I'm happy to start getting my head on straight and it was a cool visit to Red Rocks... I'll be back. ;)
