Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +24.24% off the PAX winner; Gilbert finishes around +16.07%, so about 8.2 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Gilbert is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 5.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +19.37% in the first half of these events to +16.07% in the second half.
  • 4.3 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.
  • 8 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at HOU #2, would have been 2.000 s quicker and 13 PAX places higher clean.
