This was from the Ray Miller 50k this last weekend.

Testing out using GPX files to calculate performance vs other runners.

The chart below illustrates Hans Troyer, David Sinclair, and Stephen Kersh at JFK 50 Mile hit last weekend.

You'll notice the first gap opens up after the Appalachian Trail section when Hans rolled through without changing shoes which is a common feature of this race.

These charts are quite helpful and I can't want until they are mainstream and displayed during a race livestream.
