Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +51.19% off the PAX winner; Ethan finishes around +26.69%, so about 24.5 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Ethan is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 5.
  • Median gap went from +22.37% in the first half of these events to +31.00% in the second half.
  • 1.5 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • 1 coned run was faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E9, would have been 0.231 s quicker and 1 PAX place higher clean.
