Left, Right, or Straight #12

 

  Left, Right, or Straight #12

Today we will evaluate the routes on the leg 3-4 from  M16 long distance  of the Polish Team Championships. (20/04/2024)



At first glance, the route on the left side of the road should be easier and faster. Is it really so? What do you think about it? 


A detailed analysis will be posted on the blog soon as usual. You can also find updates and news on the blog's Facebook group Orienteering Technical trainings. Don't forget to subscribe and recommend it to your friends!

    Straight. Left good solid track. Right not bad track either, with uphill attack always good.
    But straight downhill first, little fully contour, then up rails almost to be led into control

However, after the stream (point A), there is difficult navigation with challenging runnability. Therefore, we will abandon this route and choose between the 'direct' and 'left' routes. The straight and left routes are identical up to the midpoint (point B). Therefore, we have ample time on the course to make a decision. Additionally, the alternative of running to point B on the right side of the road (orange track) is not favourable as it involves a longer path compared to the straight route to point B, where there is a long path. Let's look at the differe

Left, Right, or Straight #7

Left, Right, or Straight #7 When I saw leg 4-5, I thought, 'What a not very interesting long leg with an unambiguous route on the right side along the crest of the hill.' However, it turns out that's not actually the case. Many athletes didn't take advantage of this opportunity. Do you think there's an equally viable alternative to the route on the right? source: https://www.livelox.com/Viewer/Costa-Calida-2024-Larga-Caravaca-/M-35A?classId=716564&tab=player Expect a detailed analysis of this leg in a few days.
