A little out of shape, and a little stupid ;-) I was taking pretty conservative routes, which worked out ok most of the time. The area around 3 and 7 was what got me. Every time I got in there I got turned around and confused by the rock and many unmapped bike trails (and the indistinct mapped trails being mostly gone). I was ready to bail and reattack 7 (after probably circling right around it!) when I encountered a pit near rock and decided to check NE of the rock, and there it was. Getting out of there to 8 was also not very fun.
Other anomaly: took the road to 6, and encountered a new unmapped trail right before the control when attacking from that angle. But I could see the bag from there.
Tried to hustle in from 9 in order to finish under 1:30, but that was not to be.
