Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +23.48% off the PAX winner; Paul finishes around +15.99%, so about 7.5 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Paul is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 5.
  • Median gap went from +15.66% in the first half of these events to +21.29% in the second half.
  • 1.2 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 4 is where mistakes happen most: 60% 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.
