Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +23.62% off the PAX winner; Michael finishes around +15.04%, so about 8.6 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Michael is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +12.46% in the first half of these events to +17.73% in the second half.
  • 1.0 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 4 is where mistakes happen most: 67% of run 4s were coned or DNF.
  • 2 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E3, would have been 0.953 s quicker and 8 PAX places higher clean.
