I wandered way off course looking for the 3rd control, took me exectly 24 minutes to find. If not for that huge mistake I think my total time would have been closer to 1 hr, possibly a little under an hour.
The 8th control also gave me some trouble. That part of the park feels a bit like a labyrinth, what with all the rocks and depressions. You can't see but so far and there are lots of steep drops and big rocks and thorny vegetation that limit your maneuverability.
On the whole this course was more difficult (for me) than the Blue course.
