Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +14.55% off the PAX winner; Michael finishes around +9.42%, so about 5.1 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Michael is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +6.95% in the first half of these events to +12.85% in the second half.
  • 1.8 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 4 is where mistakes happen most: 60% of run 4s were coned or DNF.
  • 3 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E7, would have been 1.479 s quicker and 16 PAX places higher clean.
