Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +10.24% off the PAX winner; Michael finishes around +7.28%, so about 3.0 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Michael is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 2.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +7.28% in the first half of these events to +6.91% in the second half.
  • Run 3 is where mistakes happen most: 25% of run 3s were coned or DNF.
  • 1 coned run was faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at HOU #8, would have been 0.700 s quicker and 13 PAX places higher clean.
