I know all about this from my running. When you live at high altitude, your body produces more red blood cells. Those cells help you carry oxygen more efficiently, as an adaptation of having less oxygen in your air. And it doesn't happen instantaneously. I'm not only faster when I go down to sea level, but I usually place higher in races.
I can outbreathe most of you guys.
