Colin,
Ironically, fit, young males are more likely to suffer from
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) than any any other demographic.
You therefore know what to do next time.
P.S.
Driving up there that quickly can bring it on. Unless you get back down to under 3050m (10,000')
the headache can linger for one to four days and you can feel like you are coming down with the flu.
