Middle of the Packer :: By the Numbers

A review of the statistics from the Outback Distance Classic confirms that I am as middle of the pack as you can get.

There were:

605 Men

599 Women

1204 Finishers

So where did I fall into the mix?

Almost smack dab in the middle of it all.

Seconds after I finished



I finished 35th out of 97 in my age group. In September my age group will change - I think the next age group is a little more competitive - something to think about...

I was the 219th woman to finish.

Overall, I was the 631st finisher of the race.

So what does it mean?

I finished in the 36th percentile of my age group. remarkably, or maybe not, I finished in the 36th percentile for all women finishers.

I was in the 52nd percentile for all finishers.

I was literally 29 people behind the absolute middle of the pack.
