Terminal Route Notes
Use the terminal description above as the route anchor. On the first cleanup pass, ignore score optimization until the Terminal pickup is repeatable. On later passes, fold the pickup into your normal Core route and only then start chasing DMND or timing goals.
DMND Notes
The exact DMND score threshold for 5-3 Marathon is not yet stored on this site. Until threshold data is cross-checked, treat DMND advice here as route preparation rather than a guaranteed score formula:
- Learn a clean Core route first.
- Add the Terminal detour after the route is stable.
- Keep ZONE TIME for planned score windows instead of emergency recovery.
