Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +13.68% off the PAX winner; Ken finishes around +6.33%, so about 7.3 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Ken is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +6.33% in the first half of these events to +6.77% in the second half.
  • 1.0 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 33% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 3 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at HOU #5, would have been 0.519 s quicker and 11 PAX places higher clean.
