Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +6.16% off the PAX winner; Ryan finishes around +2.90%, so about 3.3 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Ryan is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +4.65% in the first half of these events to +2.22% in the second half.
  • Run 5 is where mistakes happen most: 36% of run 5s were coned or DNF.
  • 1 coned run was faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #5, would have been 0.272 s quicker and 5 PAX places higher clean.
