Working on an interactive callup / start position -> finish position
visualization. Should have it by Bend :)

This is great, I love it! What other pseudoscientific analysis can we run
against race results?

These results may be very skewed based on starting order (maybe the 6s have had good draws and started closer to the front than other unlucky numbers). It would be very interesting to see what correlation may exist between the start order and the finish order. In any given week I would expect the group of numbers that started first to have the best results and the beer winners to have the worst (on average).

Just in time for the Race Number Revival this weekend at Cascade Locks. The
unofficial and unsanctioned Bib # Rankings are presented here for all Cross
Crusade racers to explore and gloat over your fellow competition. The top
10 finishers each week contribute to your points (lower is better) based on
the last digit of your bib #.

May the best bib # win! Currently the '6s' are crushing it!

Play around w/ an interactive view here: https://jboelter.github.io
