Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +3.20% off the PAX winner; Vivek finishes around +0.51%, so about 2.7 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Vivek is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 3.
  • Trending faster: median gap went from +0.60% in the first half of these events to 0.00% 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: 40% of run 2s were coned or DNF.
  • 2 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at SPK #7, would have been 0.241 s quicker and 1 PAX place higher clean.
