Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +24.99% off the PAX winner; Paul finishes around +18.03%, so about 7.0 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Paul is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +18.95% in the first half of these events to +15.82% in the second half.
  • Run 4 is where mistakes happen most: 50% of run 4s were coned or DNF.
  • 2 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E6, would have been 2.000 s quicker and 6 PAX places higher clean.
