I pick up this map and put it down. Pick it up and put it down. Gah. I went into this meet feeling not bad, focusing on flow and looking forward to breaking whatever long bit of bad luck I have had.
This was not the day.
The good news is that the low laying controls prepare me for the Pig, that I still won’t quit the sport because of another bad meet, and while tired I was able to switch gears and still find what was there. Not the forever lost feeling.
Started OK enough. One through six were slow, but I was OK with that. Meant to do it to get into the map. Then ran to 7 and it wasn’t there! After attacking and re-attacking for about 25 mins, Igor came along and kept going and Dave Eaton and I kept looking. It was about 50m(?) from the circle on another spur. Grrr…get back into it!
Trying to shake it off and rounded to the south of the hill and watched my features to 8. I knew nine would be tricky, and was fragile crossing the water. Which was silly. Got to the building and took a quick bearing, but shot to the east too far and doubled back to the gully. Lost time there. Headed off to 10, and thought I was crossing the marsh, and then hit 11? What? Reattacked and made it back to 10 then 11 and on to 12 sighted the wrong hill . Lost a bit there. Turns out what I thought was open area was perhaps really damp open area…By now I was just stomping through whatever.
Was just starting to lose some steam. Side hilled to 13, got it ahead of Syd, then trotted up the trail, which landed where I didn’t want it to but moved over to hit the RE at 14 then syd and I trotted down the hill to 15. After 25 minutes of searching, decided it was gone. Just wanted to quit. But I had laid down my $5 and who would buy my compass collection anyway.
Then on to 16 fine and mispunched 17 which I didn’t even realize until the next day.
Slowly approached 18, made a 2-3 min error on the wrong trail to 19. My brain was just getting tired so I concentrated on easy easy attacks. For 20 I went for the property line and 21 followed the fence line. I got confused by the unmapped prominent marsh…but knew I wasn’t there yet anyway.
Took trails and pavement to 22, then carefully picked apart the last controls. They were quite conjested and I couldn’t see differences. Wished I had my glasses. After all that time I was done, done, done.
