I started off strong until point 4, where I lost my direction in the swamp and then spent 45 minutes or so trying to figure out where my control was (only to discover that I was next to it). I ran around it several times. Attacked it from different angles, decided I was potentially on a parallel feature several times. Only to re-attack it and I only found it because I heard another Orienteer yell "OH!" and ran towards me and I discovered that it was right next to me. That was frustrating.
Afterwards, I had a decent race where I wasn't ever lost, but I was pretty tired from the 45 minute black hole. I also ran through two more swamps which sucked (there was no other route choices around it).
Finished the relay and passed it to Kevin. I lost our lead as 23rd so I feel pretty crappy but I intend to train hard and redeem myself next year.
