The data are coming! The data are coming!

Actually, a lot of it is here. If you check out the “stats” menu on the menu bar above, you’ll find that many of the pages in the 2012 page have been populated. So, have at it, take a look around, visit our sponsor Gear West, which not only is awesome but also shipped a replacement boot cuff up to Hayward for the race for me, and who knows, that could have made a couple seconds worth of difference versus the duct-taped one I had.

What’s not posted yet are the state-by-state competitions (because I have to figure out how best to get a table to display within WordPress) and the search for “special data”—like the time to the timing wire or how many miles each participant traveled—which we had last year for each skier. Because I have to figure out how to make a php database run within WordPress.

That being said, all the charts are in the new site format, which is far superior, I think, to last year’s version. We have nearly all of last year’s data updated (and only didn’t update things which didn’t really change) and a bunch of new stuff, like correlations (all together: “correlation does not imply causation!”) between timing wire place and finishing place by wave. Yes, very nerdy.

Rest assured, we’re working on the rest of the data. It’s 75 in New England so ski season is over (which didn’t keep me from skiing an ice-to-slush 50k this weekend, however) but the hiking trails are still slushy or muddy (not for long, at this rate) so I should have some time to have at it.

Thanks for the patience, and comment on a previous post if there’s anything you really wan to see (no guarantees, of course).
