Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +25.16% off the PAX winner; Steve finishes around +14.27%, so about 10.9 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Steve is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 6.
  • Median gap went from +14.06% in the first half of these events to +14.48% in the second half.
  • 1.7 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 3 is where mistakes happen most: 60% of run 3s were coned or DNF.
  • 5 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E5, would have been 2.000 s quicker and 8 PAX places higher clean.
