Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +12.08% off the PAX winner; Zach finishes around +10.03%, so about 2.1 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Median gap went from +10.03% in the first half of these events to +11.99% in the second half.
  • 1.3 cones per event. Each cone is 2 s, about 3–4% on a 55 s course.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 50% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 2 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E5, would have been 2.000 s quicker and 9 PAX places higher clean.
