Sporting Code Question

I've peered into the code, but I'm not 100% sure about this.

Say I declare a straight flight to a Goal. Start point and Goal are
declared. The definition of "Goal" is a "finish point specified in
Declaration". Does that mean any flight beyond that point is moot? Or,
is that the finish point for the declared task, but flight beyond that
may still count for a "free" task?????

Assume I make the Goal, and the day is still going, could I continue
from the Goal in any direction I wanted to towards a landing point and
claim records/badges for flights beyond the declared "Goal"?

In particular, say distance to my goal is 500k and then I go another
500k to a landing (or GPS logged fix) would I have earned my 1000k?

Thanks in advance...
