It is difficult to check accurately from the GPS in any way as far as I can see? Taking the left route, it is approximately equal (a few seconds faster left) to where the green (full left) and purple (first a bit right, then left) routes meet, based on the runners we have GPS for here. Thus, this does not indicate that going left out and then switching to right is faster. But tricky to know with the data we have here…

HI Rolf, I actually agree it coulb be cool to compare the green and the blue route.

Could you compare times in the first part of the leg. I think going left outof the control over the yellow and between the out-of-bounds areas saves more climb than right up to the track and when you reach the valley you can switch to the right routechoice. Its a little S-shaped, but should be even faster.

That is a good point, maybe such paths along the shore are generally slow in this type of terrain. Maybe somebody familiar with the terrain can comment on it?
