          1. Mistakes were made, but it was certainly not a waste of a day. I ran a "15k" (more like 14) trail race yesterday, and turned it into 16.5k with a missed turn.

          Over the first 6 miles I settled into a pace that put me in the middle of a large gap between runners, 9th overall in a small field. I was happy. I was running my own race at my own pace, knowing the gaps were so big that this was exactly where I was going to finish.

        Then I emerged from some singletrack, scanned the distance for markers that turned out to be incorrect, and ran right past the correct ones, which ducked right back into the woods.

      It took me a while to realize I was repeating a section I wasn't supposed to. I wasn't certain until I saw a repeated mile marker. I added on an extra 1.5 miles, and probably 14 minutes.

    It was frustrating, but the weather was perfect, the trails were great, I got to take a selfie with a ski-jumping Viking, and they gave me a block of cheddar cheese. It was certainly not a waste of a day.
