Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +33.32% off the PAX winner; Matt finishes around +28.87%, so about 4.5 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Matt is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 2.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +29.30% in the first half of these events to +26.36% in the second half.
  • 1.4 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 4 is where mistakes happen most: 80% of run 4s were coned or DNF.
  • 3 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #2, would have been 2.000 s quicker and 6 PAX places higher clean.
