Had the 2nd 15k trail run today. This one is 3 5k loops around Eagle Creek park on the NW side of Indy. If you zoom in on the map in strava, you will see an odd little bump out on lap 1 of my run today - it's about a quarter mile +/- and 2 or 3 minutes that I led a group of about 10 runners the wrong direction... They were really good about roping off the wrong routes everywhere but this one place... you come down a hill with some roots and a bridge to cross and there was a sign but it was just past the corner. Just past the turn off, there were a series of cones near the road that looked like the trail headed off to the left, where the trail went back into the woods. The group in front had a little bit of room out in front and looking down at my feet, I totally missed the turn off.
On the 2nd lap, I almost did the same thing because it just looks/feels like it should go down and to the right. But luckily I recognized it then and stayed on course. Overall it kind of kicked me butt - particularly the 3rd lap. Was a fun time, but kind of bummed for the wrong turn and all. Not sure what my official time was but watch time had me at 1:33... would have been pretty right at 1:30 if not for the detour. Trail running really kind of kicks my butt in general, imo, but it is pretty fun.
