Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +16.11% off the PAX winner; Ben finishes around +8.37%, so about 7.7 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Ben is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Median gap went from +7.78% in the first half of these events to +11.98% in the second half.
  • 1.2 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 33% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 4 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at HOU #8, would have been 2.000 s quicker and 39 PAX places higher clean.
