That lines up with what I am thinking, thanks for the input. I got in a SSBMV, General Build, and a bit of CX specialty before the season kicked off but have done a lot less since racing started. Basically picking workouts from CX specialty for some intensity during the week and then doing something like Baxter -1 to keep the legs moving and Truuli -2 for an opener.
Not really trying to peak for nationals or something like that, just looking to do as many races as I can and keep building. Racing cat4 and more interested in progression than results.
But… I am currently in contention for the season overall podium and I’d like to crush it at Woodland Park if I can 
The ideal of taking on some CTL instead of racing and then having time to recover and sharpen up the legs a little bit makes sense to me but I don’t have first hand experience trying. Thank you and everyone else to made the time to weigh in
