Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +29.74% off the PAX winner; Joel finishes around +22.53%, so about 7.2 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Joel is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 2.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +22.80% in the first half of these events to +22.53% in the second half.
  • 2.7 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 100% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 3 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #11, would have been 0.893 s quicker and 8 PAX places higher clean.
