Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +25.51% off the PAX winner; Derek finishes around +19.25%, so about 6.3 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Derek is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Median gap went from +19.06% in the first half of these events to +19.84% in the second half.
  • 4.5 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 2 is where mistakes happen most: 75% of run 2s were coned or DNF.
  • 6 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #4, would have been 2.450 s quicker and 20 PAX places higher clean.
