Time budget

Every tracked second of the race in one bucket: hiking (moving on foot), flying, launch prep, packing and stops of 2 min or more. Nights off the tracker are not in it. The field median is the median day of everyone racing it, summed over the days this athlete raced.

Activity share

How each kilometre was won

Each 5 km of the course coloured by how the athlete covered it, measured as progress toward goal (circling makes none), over the field's share flown there. The brackets are the days. Where the athlete is blue over a green field, they flew what most walked.

How each hour was spent

Each hour of the race by what the athlete was doing in it, the time budget's buckets stacked, over the field's share of its tracked time; a column only partly filled was partly off the track. The lines are when the athlete reached each turnpoint.

Travelled with

Athletes on foot within 30 m of this one (the median over a stretch, never over 100 m) for at least 20 minutes, with no more than three others close by: a line of hikers on one trail is not company. The crowded start and anything after goal or the end of the race (eliminated, withdrawn) are left out. Company, not a team: a shared trail reads the same. Met again marks a pair on foot together again after a flight split them, the one sign that comes near travelling as a team; their shared glides are counted for them alone.
