Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +23.19% off the PAX winner; Jacob finishes around +14.09%, so about 9.1 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Jacob is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +13.16% in the first half of these events to +15.00% in the second half.
  • 4.8 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 4 is where mistakes happen most: 75% of run 4s were coned or DNF.
  • 4 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E5, would have been 3.701 s quicker and 28 PAX places higher clean.
