It's my understanding that we should be able to do the Diamond Goal
and Diamond XC in the same flight. We would need to declare a O&R or
Triangle goal of 300K, fly and complete that goal, and then fly
another 200K to meet the 500K XC. The flight would count for both
elements of the Diamond, but you could only use one for any possible
state record.

Actually, you don't have to land 200KM away. The Diamond GOAL
triangle is defined by the (up to) (3) turn points. As long as the
distance around the (3) turn points meets the 300KM goal requirements
(i.e. the triangle drawn by the TP's), you can add the "extra" 200KM
by flying from your Start Point (SP) to TP1 Plus the distance from TP3
to the Finish Point (FP). More than likely, you will probably fly
more than 500KM to complete this, but it is doable.

I did my Diamond Goal and Diamond Distance in (1) flight this way with
the SP / FP at my takeoff airport. A long day, but a lot of fun.
