Had a little run at the GKI Trail run today. Nominally 27km of beach, hilly rocky trail, and a few smooth trails in between.
My spidey-sense started tingling at the 21km mark that the course was actually only 26km - and I hate being short changed. So I did what any self- respecting trail runner would do and turned the wrong way.
In hindsight, adding an extra 4km and a few extra hills at this point was not likely to improve my position in the race (comfortably 4th at the time). This was compounded when I totally ran out of gas at 27km, and started cramping badly at 28km, both comfortably after I should have finished. 29.9km for me by the finish line…
Oh well - gave the RRR gang a good laugh at the orienteer who can’t even follow pink tapes!
