  • Michael is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Median gap went from +17.13% in the first half of these events to +18.72% in the second half.
  • 2.0 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • 1 coned run was faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #4, would have been 1.209 s quicker and 12 PAX places higher clean.
