Stats guru

As we indicated earlier, last year’s times for the 2008 BDO Kendalls Brisbane Coot-tha Challenge have been available on the web for, hmm, let’s see, just under a year now.

And using that data, one of the riders from last year who is an Excel guru has put together a spreadsheet of statistical analysis. The average (mean) time up the hill last year? 14 minutes, 35 seconds. The average (median) time? 13 minutes, 38 seconds. And of course, the mode (most frequently occurring) time: 12 minutes 9 seconds.
