Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +5.46% off the PAX winner; Chase finishes around +2.61%, so about 2.8 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Chase is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +2.62% in the first half of these events to +2.36% in the second half.
  • 1.4 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 5 is where mistakes happen most: 60% of run 5s were coned or DNF.
  • 6 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at HOU #11, would have been 0.734 s quicker and 3 PAX places higher clean.
