Today I did terribly, but I'm not sure why I lost focus. I started out badly, and had to go back to the start to relocate. This set the stage for a horrible performance. Two was good, then for 3 I went to 4 and had to go back to 3. I couldn't even make it back to 4; instead I circled around and got back to 3. The second time around I made it to 4, and had no problems with 5 and 6. I did have a problem with 7, couldn't figure out how to relocate, and thought that I would probably be over the two-hour time limit the way I was doing this. So I set out for the last control, a long ways away, found it, and got a DNF. Why do I do pretty well one day, and then totally blow it the next?
