Colorado Crossing
Colorado Crossing was a great two day race event. I talked several people into running the races with me, so on day one, I ran with a group of friends that stayed together for most of the race. We got to cross the Colorado River twice each day. Originally, this was supposed to be in a boat but low water made this a foot crossing. The course was fun, with some hills early and plenty of mud. We had a few patches where the mud was ankle deep and the puddles were as wide as the tree lined path. There were some steep down hills, too.

Volunteers at TROT races are always great but it’s extra fun to see folks you know. As we neared the river, some runners from a longer distance race caught up to us and we chatted about the river crossing
