You're wrong on both counts. Both Tito and I thought we
had the course right on our second runs. I found out I had
DNF'd when I checked the postings after my second run.
Tito found out after the run group was over. Neither of us
had a DNF on our time slips, and there is no PA at GGF.
Slowing down to a near stop on my THIRD run didn't help either.

We look forward to your teaching us how to read cones that
will be added to the course after we walk it. :-)
