Breakin' Down the Numbers

I never thought I was an analytical type.

My senior year in college I took Interpersonal Communication. During a brief discussion of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test I found out that a small part of me had an analytical side.

Once I learned that small nugget of information it really changed the way I looked at things, and, without a doubt, changed my career-path. (You wouldn't believe the metrics wrapped around what I do...)



Knowing that about me, you can probably understand why I enjoy figuring out where I fell in the pack in the Winter Park Road Race...

There were:

921 Men

974 Women

1895 Finishers

How did I stack up?

I finished 47th out of 155 in my age group - 30th percentile.

I was the 288th woman to finish - 29th percentile.

I was the 888th participant to cross the finish line overall - 46th percentile.

Obviously, I don't ahve enough 10k races under my belt to make any sense out of this, but it's still fun to crunch it all up.

The percentiles are better than the Outback Distance Classic but that's not an apples to apples comparison. We'll re-visit these numbers next year when I run these races again.
