toddp: This makes sense.

Ratlaf: They're also doing a series of posts: The Route to Christmas.

Every day 'till Christmas they're posting a leg and the winning routes with their percentages slower than the leaders. Some of them are very interesting to see what I would do, what really worked and how the tiniest decision can change the outcome of the race.

All of the articles including the Route to Christmas are here.

ebuckley: Makes sense, yes. Pulling it off, of course, is a whole 'nuther thing. I wish he went into how he actually trained this, because it certainly appears to be a fine strategy.

Jagge: The traditional No Speed, Full Mistakes method looks much more fun in RouteGadget.

chitownclark: In Cristina's Log last June we were discussing running in Finnish terrain.

Bubo found and posted a link (Found it!!) at the bottom of the thread which will allow download of a very detailed .pdf file of Tero's route and map simplification of a 2004 WOC run. He shows the map for each leg, then simplifies, and shows a second map containing just the features he "saw" and used to get to the control. In addition he adds commentary in his broken English.

I've spent a lot of time reading through Tero's reasoning on each leg...very helpful.

toddp: Here is the the great link to Tero's analysis that chitownclark cited above. Comparing the simplified mapped legs to the actuals is very instructive.
