Reply to "Effect of elevation on performance"

The stars are back in proper alignment.

The top 5 Athens times average 11140 seconds.
The top 5 others average 11005 seconds.
Flatter courses are faster by 2.25 minutes

The best Athens is 10753 seconds.
The best other is 10602 seconds.
Flatter course is faster by 2.52 minutes

The reason is that the distribution of running times is one-sided. Try as you may you cannot beat your best by much, but it is easy to have a bad day and get a woeful performance, as I did on many occasions.

I don't know why I should be happy to see myself back in alignment with perceived reality, but I am.
