Good run wasted - another boom


Mark Roodhouse set a 7.7 km red course at Shawnee Mission Park. After a good New Year's Day trail run, I decided being careful and slow will get you clean, but slow runs. So, made it a point to run harder today. No major complaints up to 13, then then went back to 4 instead of going to 14. Cost me at least 3 places in the results. Can you see a comtributing cause for the error, besides the oxygen debt?

I don't see any explanation other than being tired/oxygen debt.

The course looks interesting in that it goes places that courses don't usually go.

Number 10 doesn't look fun.

What route did you take to 13?

I took the road to 13, pushed the pace and the whole time was looking at #4 as the next control. I wonder if I had taken the time to draw the line between 13 and 14 if I might have avoided the mistake. The mere act of drawing the line between 13-14 would have been the first hint of going the right way... How was Toronto?
