Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +7.54% off the PAX winner; Tim finishes around +2.45%, so about 5.1 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Tim is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Median gap went from +1.79% in the first half of these events to +3.12% in the second half.
  • 1.2 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 2 is where mistakes happen most: 50% of run 2s were coned or DNF.
  • 4 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E7, would have been 0.659 s quicker and 4 PAX places higher clean.
