2015-16 Season Per Cent Back Calculations

As an interesting metric of how well you did in any race I have calculated each athlete’s percentage back of the average time of the 2nd,3rd and 4th racer.

The numbers along the bottom represent the races in order.

1 – Foothill Classic,  2 – Sugar Bowl Freestyle,  3 – Truckee Sprints,  4 – Mammoth Classic,

5 – North Tahoe Skiathlon,  6 – State Championship Classic,  7 – State Championship Skate

If you were 100% back it means your time was twice as long as the 2,3,4 average.

 

Here is a table showing the percent-back-summary    If the trend was negative it means that you were improving through the season (we won’t dwell on what a positive trend means!).   A small standard deviation means that you had more consistent results.  Don’t read too much into it but these are interesting numbers.
