A few interesting stats

In case you needed convincing/reminding that the 2012 edition of the Knee Knacker was indeed a challenge, here are some stats/observations to substantiate that claim:

• 212 starters is a record, beating previous high of 209 in 2007
• 189 finishers
• 89.2% finish rate is 2nd lowest ever; lowest is 86.4% in 1991, and this is only the 2nd time ever below 90%
• 92 first-time finishers out of the 189 – almost half, which is about par for the course
• only 20 Personal Bests, which is much below normal
• median time was 7:44:46, which is 2nd slowest ever – only beaten by 7:47:00 in 1999 (year of the biggest, baddest snow)
• no records set in any of the age groups

Just saying 🙂
