Many loose some time on first control. Diffuse terrain if you keep too far right EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 1

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 2 – Part 1 Element of routechoice to 2nd control. Straight & right are similar. Difficult to see control, you need 100% control

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 2 – Part 2 Example mistakes at 2nd control – full control at stone-wall crossing, then trust yourself 100% is key for success here

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 2 – Part 3 Example mistake at 2nd control – full control at stone-wall crossing, then trust yourself 100% is key for success here

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 3 Some routechoice to 3rd control. Looks like using the paths is faster

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 3 – Part 2 Sample timeloss by not being accurate into the 3rd control. Can loose seconds many places if not good plan & execution

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 4 Short 4th leg proved tricky for some. Key is to keep right to avoid the more diffuse terrain

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 7 Route choice to 7th control – small time differences. Right on the paths might be a very good choice here

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 8 – Part 1 Example of how you need to avoid the most stony areas to save time. Need to be thorough all the way in this terrain type.

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 8 – Part 2 Kirmula did few big mistake – the one on number 8 was main weak spot.

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 9 Fraser again goes around – loses some seconds, but this is one of the legs were going around can be beneficial

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 10 Kirmula around to 10 – loses some seconds, but this is another leg were going around can be beneficial

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 12 Compare Huttunen with Leonhardt: Example of area where you can be unlucky and lose significant time which can not be read directly from map

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 13 – Part 1 Kirmula around to 13 – one of the best legs to go around on. Note that around is not on a path, but along stone wall in white forest

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 13 – Part 2 Kirmula around to 13 – one of the best legs to go around on..

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 13 – Part 3 Fraser’s route to 13 looks too long

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 15 Leg 15: Green II versus stony area. Green II is faster here, as shown by Parjanne’s route to the left

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 16 Leonhardt’s mistake is on the 16th control – nearly 2 minutes lost

EASTER4 DAY 1: GPS ANALYSIS LEG 18 Route choice leg to 18th control. Looks like straight variants are definitely the best ones
