I’ve already figured out my margin of
victory in races I’d won and now I was curious about races I’d lost, and by
lost I mean finished in second place. I’ve had the good fortune (or
misfortune?) of taking 2nd place overall in 229 races. In 9 of those
races I lost by less than a second and had another 20 that were 1 second losses
(although some of those were intentional). 57 (25%) of the losses were by
five seconds or less. The average loss was by 44 seconds.
I thought it interesting (although not
surprising) that Dan Verrington and Eric Morse both kept me from winning the
most with 17 times each. Not really surprising since we are teammates
with similar race desires. Richard Bolt has the next most with 7.
