Rob: I just re-read my post, and let me say I was not implying that you are out of shape! It doesn't look like you took it that way, but my post sounds kinda goofy. I was trying to give extreme cases where the the altitude factor does not seem to be the primary cause of fatigue (like trying to go fast up San Bernardino or going on lots of runs in Yosemite) so that other possibilities could be drawn out.
I looked up th CoQ10 you mentioned. I hadn't heard of it before. I came across this statement: "The clinical effect is not immediate and may take up to eight weeks." Do you start a few days or weeks in advance? I'll be interested in hearing about your experience!
Perry: I've heard of people sleeping high and training low, but you're saying the short time at lower altitude may help the body adapt and avoid AMS and HAPE? That's perfect - it gives me a great excuse to drive back down to Lone Pine for a good breakfast before a long hike! As a matter of fact, if I try out the CoQ10, it is best taken with a meal that includes fat, so I can even have bacon and eggs with some biscuits and gravy...this is getting better and better!
