Thanks for added information! Yes, this was not a perfect leg as it was tricky to do a good analysis. But with few international events this year I take what I get, and at least the terrain is non-Scandinavian:)

Adding the overall running times of the runner would enhance the comparabilty of the route choices. In this case only Mendes and Lima are competitive. They end up both at about 90 and 91 minutes overall. Even as they get there after making an about 5 min mistake each, their pace is otherwise comparable. Meanwhile the rest of the runners were running other classes…

With the road option, to the right, so early in the course, I would take it and plan ahead as much as possible. It may be slightly slower but it is good to make harder route choices when your head is clear and also plan how to include some drinks points later on in 35 degree heat. It would probably save more time overall.
