[1/2] The good news: yesterday was my first time above 14,000ft, and one of the best days in recent memory! I was awestruck by the views, the wildlife, the spectacle of all those peaks reaching into the sky.
The bad news: today I feel exactly like when I was recovering from Legionnaires Disease. Short of breath, every minor action feeling exhausting.

[2/2] The silver lining: it's because I drove (Mount Blue Sky scenic drive). The body doesn't have proper time to acclimate when you climb that quickly.
I'm confident that when I hike my first 14er, step by step, the altitude sickness won't be nearly as severe as this. Might not even affect me at all. But today, I am resting like I've never rested before 😂

@cassidy @micahilbery @ahoneybun The funny thing is I've been staying at about 8000ft for the last week, and I did 3 hikes above 10K during that time!

@killyourfm @micahilbery @ahoneybun next time you gotta hang out in Denver for the day before heading up to a 14er. 😅 My family would always do Casa Bonita to acclimate when we were traveling from sea level 🤣

@killyourfm ummmm come say hi to me and @micahilbery and @ahoneybun?? You're basically in our neighborhood!

@cassidy @micahilbery @ahoneybun Damn, I forgot you were there too! Maybe we can organize something in the next couple of weeks.
