First day of Team Trials. This was a really hilly and technical course, and I was totally lost on controls 1-5. First I spent an enormous amount of time looking for number 1, which was supposed to be on a cliff somewhere but didn't really seem to be where it was supposed to. I eventually found it but then wound up making a bad route choice to control two, and so got lost again. This process basically repeated itself until number 5. After number 6 I started to make more sensible route choices out to the next controls and the map started to make sense, but I never really ran at speed or felt very sure. It was just really hard. And those hills didn't help, either!
