USA Space City 10-Miler: Negative Splits
(Jay Lee and Kevin Landry do a great job in putting on events! Thank guys and your group of volunteers!)
There were 727 runners who had both of their split times recorded. Only 97 of them (13.3%) recorded a negative split. The breakdowns of negative splits by the number of minutes are as follows:
Less than a minute -- 49 (50.5%)
1:00 - 1:59 -- 10 (10.3%)
2:00 - 2:59 -- 18 (18.6%)
3:00 - 3:59 -- 11 (11.3%)
4:00 - 4:59 -- 4 (4.1%)
5:00 - 5:59 -- 5 (5.2%)
7:00 - 7:59 -- 1
13:00 - 13:59 -- 1 (Loren Neufeld, who stayed with an injured runner through 7 miles and then was encouraged to run on in)
In 10-minute time increments, here is a breakdown of the gun times of the 97 runners who recorded negative splits:
1:00 - 1:09 -- 9
1:10 - 1:19 -- 14
1:20 - 1:29 -- 15
1:30 - 1:39 -- 22
1:40 - 1:49 -- 19
1:50 - 1:59 -- 9
2:00 - 2:09 -- 5
2:20 - 2:29 -- 4
My 18:36 positive split was the 5th worst; however, the worst two (2) included a runner who needed medical attention but still finished (and the runner who accompanied him). However, I was, unfortunately, in some company of respected runners - Mark Fraser, Jack Lippincott, John Phillips and Tim Bowler - who do not often find themselves in the same situation that I was in (unless they were pacing some individuals in the back end).
The positive split time distributions are as follows:
10 minutes or more -- 57
9:00 - 9:59 -- 24
8:00 - 8:59 -- 29
7:00 - 7:59 -- 30
6:00 - 6:59 -- 38
5:00 - 5:59 -- 56
4:00 - 4:59 -- 64
3:00 - 3:59 -- 76
2:00 - 2:59 -- 79
1:00 - 1:59 -- 97
0:00 - 0:59 -- 88
