Wrong Turn

Lesson from the warrior dash: Be cautious taking an early lead on an unfamiliar course.

Yeah, that's pretty much the best way to put it.

Considering the distance I ran off course, and the fact that I had to run that distance again to get back on the course, it probably cost me a little less than a minute total. I was leading by about a hundred meters when I took the wrong turn, and I was in third place (about 150 - 200 meters out of first) when I got back onto it.
