Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +16.03% off the PAX winner; Michael finishes around +9.16%, so about 6.9 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Michael is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 5.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +9.16% in the first half of these events to +8.69% in the second half.
  • 1.8 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 3 is where mistakes happen most: 42% of run 3s were coned or DNF.
  • 8 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E1, would have been 2.843 s quicker and 25 PAX places higher clean.
