Mon 5/28 - AM 60 minutes incl. 3(400-300-200-100)

First time trying to do a track workout at altitude. Approached the whole thing with some trepidation, as such kept the repeats and overall length of the session short. Hoping to get some kind of turnover, but not expecting numbers worth writing home about. As expected, the 400s felt a little rubber-legged, in fact 200m seemed to be the tipping point after which the hypoxia set in. Numbers:

78.0/57.4/37.5/18.3
77.8/56.8/37.1/18.5
76.5/58.2/37.3/18.3

Recoveries about what they'd be at sea level. Some wind on the backstretch FWIW. Happy to be able to finish the thing in one piece. Later in the day, traveled to the Grand Canyon where I thought about doing a short shakeout, but went for a walk along the rim instead.
