Yeah, I think there's a difference between acclimating and getting into an overstress/adaptation regimen. I was in Colorado for a week, got to where I could do intervals and climb effectively, but I felt no stronger when I got back in TX.
I think you'll have a lot of fun and get some good training at the OTC, but you'll have to stay a while to bring back any extra red blood cells
I'd recommend going for a brisk walk as soon as you arrive to see how you feel, and if you're up to it, do something intense that day (I did sprints and some 1-flight stair climbing before dinner).
