Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +12.17% off the PAX winner; Michael finishes around +6.53%, so about 5.6 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Michael is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 2.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +6.53% in the first half of these events to +5.42% in the second half.
  • 1.4 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 60% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 2 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #8, would have been 0.167 s quicker and 1 PAX place higher clean.
