I've considered altitude. I'm coming from sea level here in NZ too.
I'm not sure how much of a problem it will be and I can't see that I
can avoid it.
Some people handle it better than others, but I think conventional
wisdom says that it takes a few weeks to fully acclimatize -- so when
you're huffing and puffing, you will have a legitimate excuse =)
Just make sure you drink a lot of water here in CO -- like, an insane
amount of water. When my dad came to visit, this became a running joke.
Every problem he mentioned, I told him to drink water. But it's true!
Headache, lethargy, whatever, it's almost always dehydration. Of
course, alcohol only makes it worse =/
