Spent the morning showing Rebecca the Boulder Skyline Traverse. One of my favorite runs and it has been a couple of years since I have done this.

Interlocken CX Race. Bad day, crashed 4 times on lap 2 that took me out of it. The 3rd time was hard on the concrete and got ran over. Still finished even though I was limping in per se. I can't see taking a DNF in a CX race unless the bike breaks or a bone breaks.

Easy lunch run with 4 x 20 second hill sprints at the end. Body is smashed from the last 2 days, the thrusters last night put me over the top I think. Thinking this might be all I do today, maybe get on the trainer for 30-45 mins but not sure.

Biking race (CX) 39:28 [5] 7.9 mi (12.0 mph) +195ft

Feedback Cup Cyclocross race in Golden. Weird race, for some reason I was not in the callups, should have been in the second row but ended up starting in the back due to it. Well, punched out hard the first 0.25 of the course hitting the sandpit in about 10th. As I was running through the pit due to the backup the dude next to me fell over onto my front wheel as I was passing him twisting the wheel 90 degrees from the handle bars. Had to stop for about 45-60 seconds to fix my wheel which was long enough to put me in last place. Spent the rest of the race pissed off and just burying myself for 35 mins. Passed a lot of people but not sure how I ended up overall.
