Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +17.18% off the PAX winner; Danny finishes around +12.35%, so about 4.8 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Danny is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 5.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +13.49% in the first half of these events to +9.61% in the second half.
  • 1.0 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 57% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 1 coned run was faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E7, would have been 1.297 s quicker and 13 PAX places higher clean.
