Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +26.61% off the PAX winner; Matt finishes around +15.95%, so about 10.7 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Matt is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +17.01% in the first half of these events to +15.53% 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: 57% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 4 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #3, would have been 3.187 s quicker and 38 PAX places higher clean.
