I would be intrested in more detailed data as ‘Total Time in Packs’ and ‘Average duration of a pack’ for every runner. Here in this graph we have still the problem, that the short (t.ex. 11th Control) and long legs (12th control) are represented by the same space, which is a little corrupting the visual impression.

I played around a little with the ‘split-ability’ of certain controls (for ex. to be compared with separation methods as Phi- or Butterfly-Loops). As written in my last post I made a small analysis of this competition based on Hennings graph.
(quite high flucutaion of the packs composition)

and for the fun of it the same of my ‘favourite competition’, the this years EOC Men Long Final…
(long second leg does no splitting due to no packs, butterfly does some splitting, but most packs form after BF and quite little fluctuation after that).

Anyway the longer I think about, I try to keep in mind, that it is the startintervall and the reverse start order defining the ‘densitiy of runners’, plus it is the start order that assures that ‘once met, hardly separated’.

I will show later that the long legs to the 4, 6, 7 and 12 all worked great to separate packs (percentages between 50 and 70 percent) where probably the reverse start order lead to pack-percentages of 50% up to 62% in the second half of the race.

Can I ask for a brief description of what does this table represent and what do certain colors mean?

Thanks,

Cheers,
