How do the courses compare?
|
|
Looking at this season`s 3.1 mile and 5000m races (3.1 miles is just a bit shorter than 5000m), using the the top 30 finishers at Atsugi Invite Oct 25 as the baseline, the average and the median difference with the season`s previous races are presented here. The courses are listed in season date order of meet. (suggestion: it would be advisable to confirm the distances on these courses.)
Course length, course difficulty, weather and point-in-season are important factors. †† means the course`s distance has been verified by wheel. fyi - with small sets of data, the "median" is a better indicator than the "average"
