Notes
It was my idea for a long run, but Rebel and Pollux consented and Rebel found decided we could do a drop-off at Crosby-Manitou Park and run all the way home.
It had just rained and some trails were wet but the muddy spots were already muddy. The temperature was amazing though. We let Rebel lead the whole way and he did not let up. Not that the pace was uncomfortable, but it was never easy. We roared through miles and miles of singletrack, blowing by hikers when need be. There was obviously a lot of elevation change but nothing daunting.
The last couple miles were on gravel and dirt, and my legs were tired as we opened up our strides for the first time. Nearly 2 hours was a bit longer than anticipated, but it was a well-earning run and we weren't completely zapped for more fun the rest of the day.
