The defense rests

Ever played in a tournament where you lost the title by an imp or 2?
Well, this is not the story here but we would do well to remember that every imp count when we play a game anywhere. Here is a hand where the importance of appropriate focus would have come in handy.
The result on the board was to tie instead of us taking an couple of imps.

(1) 16+
(2) less than 5hcp
I was so buy thinking about the auction and my failure to bid that I did stop to think about the defense for more than 10 seconds.
