Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +18.94% off the PAX winner; James finishes around +14.27%, so about 4.7 points come over the remaining runs.
  • James is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Median gap went from +11.01% in the first half of these events to +17.25% in the second half.
  • Run 5 is where mistakes happen most: 40% of run 5s were coned or DNF.
  • 5 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #5, would have been 0.876 s quicker and 9 PAX places higher clean.
