So my dad put on an adventure race and I had to go pick up two controls. I started thinking it would be easy since it was basically trails and the controls were just off the trail. For the first one (since I didn't have a compass) I was just slightly off and hit a trail that I thought was beyond the control. I tried o use that but ended up down somewhere completely different upon also hearing a wailing fox in the distance. After relocating and once again attacking from the trail I found the control, upon also realizing there were A BUNCH of trails not on the map (DAD). I left the control and started running down the first trail I saw, which turned out to be unmapped and was curving around in all sorts of circles. I decided to bushwhack in the general direction of where I thought I had to go (in shorts and HOKAS, UGH) (hit my leg on a cliff and scraped it!) and ended up on some other bigger trail, still not knowing where I was. I began running and heard the wailing fox again, then it started getting louder and scarier and I just took off down the trail in hopes of getting away. Then I somehow recognized where I was on the map and continued along. The end.
