Aus champs relay, in 2nd team on 2nd leg.
so this went really, really badly. Sent oout in 4th, like 4mins behind shallot. Got #1 and #2 alright, then #3 proved to be literally impossible to find. I was in the open flat bit just before the control.. i just couldn't make any sense of the vegetation mapping as on the ground, the open was a lot wider than on the map, so I kept convincing myself i was too low.. so i kept taking bearings in, and just for the life of me couldn't find it. was there for about 20mins, and realised at this rate, my 3rd leg was never going to get a run! so i just came back and got the last few controls.. Emily was out for 90mins anyway, so I don't think we would have ever contended for a podium...
Turns out every person i spoke to who had that control also had big problems and another woman also had to come back because she couldn't find it.. so it made me feel sliiiiightly better lol. but still. mare lol.
