If I read this correctly, the scored first leg distance is unknown until the
first turn is made? Still, one never really knows how far you will fly, so
does it matter? The object is to run out the clock, and you don't really
know how it will go till about half the flight, and you see the conditions
ahead.

The power of prophecy would be very handy.
