Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +6.98% off the PAX winner; Chris finishes around +4.39%, so about 2.6 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Chris is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +4.39% in the first half of these events to +4.87% in the second half.
  • 1.5 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 40% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 2 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at HOU #2, would have been 0.261 s quicker and 10 PAX places higher clean.
