Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +9.11% off the PAX winner; Paul finishes around +7.45%, so about 1.7 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Paul is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Median gap went from +6.36% in the first half of these events to +8.35% in the second half.
  • 2.0 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 2 is where mistakes happen most: 43% of run 2s were coned or DNF.
  • 3 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #5, would have been 0.594 s quicker and 10 PAX places higher clean.
