Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +19.46% off the PAX winner; Galen finishes around +12.28%, so about 7.2 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Galen is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +11.80% in the first half of these events to +12.94% 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: 50% of run 5s were coned or DNF.
  • 3 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E5, would have been 1.737 s quicker and 6 PAX places higher clean.
