I got lost on my first open 25, going straight on at a roundabout rather than turning left, despite the signs and marshals. When I realised and turned around, I dropped my water bottle - back in those days I'd take a bottle on a 25. Ended up doing 26.2 miles. The chap I overtook twice looked a bit perplexed at my reappearance.
