Two rounds of control pickup, the second late in the day. Ran fairly solidly to the first control, super sweaty, then headed across ridges to the second. Lost track a bit, then started running into the sun essentially lost! Started tracking NW back towards the car because I couldn't make sense of the terrain. It can be a long way to a truly distinctive feature in Story and finally I found a sharp reentrant oriented in a way that seemed to make sense with the preceding terrain. Off the tip to a pond, decided to run back the 600-700 m to the missed stand rather than needing to go back the next day. I was good for the rest of the run but a bit shaken by my earlier experience. A later review of what happened l undercut the control and ran into a red hatched part of the map that I had never visited. It has lots of faint trails that are easily confused with the ones to the south. Note to self: don't get lost at Story.
