Ran the Orange course first, treating it as a Middle Distance race in prep for the Team Trials. I ran it as hard as I could and judging by my heart rates did exactly that. A new max HR for me at 194!
I also didn't make any mistake and other than a few hesitations inside the control circles while looking for the control, ran a very good race. But it's an Orange course at Cherry Creek State Park so it was hardly technical, just fast.

After catching my breath a bit I went out on the Red course as well. Again a lot of the same but this time with a few more route choices to get around the uncrossable marshes in the park, and I do mean uncrossable.
There was one route choice that I didn't see which would've been much better but as far as I can remember that was my only big mistake. Again several hesitations within control circles but otherwise a clean run.
Splits and speed adjusted routes coming soon!

I also had Sherry work on my sore glute and every other muscle in my legs, for a little while.
