Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +6.17% off the PAX winner; Brandon finishes around +0.50%, so about 5.7 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Brandon is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 5.
  • Median gap went from +0.20% in the first half of these events to +2.41% in the second half.
  • 2.3 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 50% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 3 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E2, would have been 0.339 s quicker and 3 PAX places higher clean.
