Eye round roast dinner with failure!

I have made Eye round roast many times using the high temp turn oven off method and it has never failed. This time it did fail and I can only decide it was the oven seal. This method is such a great way to turn a $10 roast into a great meal. At 108 deg the temp started to go down I finally at 104 deg opened oven and it was cold. I turned oven up to 300 deg and watched thermometer. At 130 deg I took it out and rested foil covered. The thermometer must have been off because it ended up medium well when I cut it FAIL! This was the first time I made it since we have moved. I am confident in the method unless you have an oven that does not have good seal. So I post this with the failure and how I tried to make up for it. The sides were money though and well worth making note of the recipes.
