Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +5.43% off the PAX winner; John finishes around +2.98%, so about 2.5 points come over the remaining runs.
  • John is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +2.98% in the first half of these events to +3.14% in the second half.
  • 1.1 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 2 is where mistakes happen most: 33% of run 2s were coned or DNF.
  • 2 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #1, would have been 0.575 s quicker and 8 PAX places higher clean.
