The story of your race

Where the finish time was won and lost, checkpoint by checkpoint.

Projected finish through the race. Started projecting 1:09:05 and finished on 56:14. The line fell, so you gained on the field as the race went on.finished 56:1455:571:02:411:09:26Run 1SkiErgRun 2Sled PushRun 3Sled PullRun 4Burpee Broad JumpRun 5RowRun 6Farmers CarryRun 7Sandbag LungesRun 8Wall Balls
At each segment this takes the time you had actually spent and adds the division average for everything still to come. A falling line means you were pulling away from the field as the race went on; a rising one means you were giving it back. No model, no prediction — arithmetic on what happened.
The sled is where most races are decided, and where most people find out how they paced the first two runs.

Every station against your own standard

You raced at the 92% percentile overall. These bands show what someone of that standard typically runs on each station — so a split above the middle band is a strength, and one below it is where your time is going.

What this race was worth on the same legs

Your best station on the day was Wall Balls, at the 96th percentile. If every other station had matched that same level — on the same day, on the same legs — this is where you would have finished.

Runs 1 and 8 are shown but excluded from the variation figure. Run 1 depends on where the start line sits, and run 8 absorbs the transition into wall balls — including either measures the venue rather than the athlete.

Against the winner of Doubles Men

Riley Fernandez won this division in 47:39. This is where the gap actually is — it is rarely spread evenly.

Where the gap to the winner is. You were behind the winner on 15 of 17 segments.

Only the gap is drawn. Bars to the right of the line are segments where Riley Fernandez was faster than you; bars to the left are ones where you were faster. The winner's splits come from the published result — we do not hold per-segment records for the whole field, so this is the winner rather than the fastest split anyone posted.
A hundred wall balls with nothing after them. What you have left here was decided an hour earlier.

Split targets for your next race

Built to 53:07. Time is taken off each segment in proportion to how much room it has against your own best standard, rather than shaved evenly — asking the same improvement from your strongest station and your weakest is both harder and slower.

How every figure here was worked out

No black box. If you cannot check a number, you cannot train against it.

Percentiles
Computed against every finisher in Doubles Men at this event — 632 times for the overall figure, and the full division sample for each station.
Performance bands
Your overall percentile is read back against each station’s own distribution. The middle band is what an athlete of your standard typically posts there; the others are the same distribution read further up and down. Shifting in percentile space rather than in seconds matters, because ten points is worth far more time on the sled than on the ski erg.
Same-day potential
Your strongest station sets the ceiling, and every other station is measured against that same percentile. It is deliberately not “if you were perfect” — you proved you could operate at that level on the day, so it is a target rather than a fantasy.
The race story
At each checkpoint: time actually elapsed, plus the division average for everything still to come. Your roxzone is spread evenly across the sixteen timed segments, which is why the line lands exactly on your finish time.
Next race
A least-squares line through your finish times in this division, extrapolated one race forward. The band width is your own residual spread, not a population figure.
What is not here
Per-transition roxzone splits, because the timing feed publishes one roxzone total rather than eight. Where a benchmark says “winner” it is the winner’s split, not the fastest split in the field — we do not hold per-segment records for every finisher.
