[pct-l] Acclimation to altitude

[Gerry Zamora]

When I played football I was taught to breath in through your nose and out
your mouth.  Helps keep your breathing under control.  If I pay attention to
my breathing I find I can push myself much further than when i am just
huffing and puffing.  Since I am section hiking and wont have time to adjust
I plan on spending a zero day at altitude and hopefully this will help.
Other than that im gonna take it slow and steady.
