Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #13

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #13 Today we will take a close look at the route choice for leg 5-6 from the women's elite long-distance at the "Närkekvartetten" 3-day event in Sweden (May 11, 2024) The altitude gain on this leg will not have a significant effect on the route choice. The right-hand route doesn't look bad in the first half, with a fairly large section along the road. 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.

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #9

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #9 Today, we will focus on a detailed analysis of leg 14-15 from the women's long course at 'Spring Spartacus' event in Hungary. I find the route choice for leg 14-15 to be simple and unambiguous. This perception is supported by the GPS tracks of the competitors. Interestingly, only one competitor from this class took the right-hand route out of all those who loaded their tracks on Livelox. We cannot definitively attribute this deviation to the athlete's error. For many runners, these competitions were part of the training camp for the European Championships 2024. The athlete may have had different objectives than simply completing the course quickly. It's possible that on this leg, she was practicing a challenging technical skill, such as running along a slope. However, based on this iformation, we can assess how effective the right-hand route was. The leg is 1060 metres long, crossing massive landforms. Therefore, one...
