Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +6.40% off the PAX winner; Brandon finishes around +0.30%, so about 6.1 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Brandon is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +0.20% in the first half of these events to +1.00% in the second half.
  • 2.7 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 67% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 5 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E3, would have been 0.911 s quicker and 2 PAX places higher clean.
