Since I'm a sucker for data, I've updated the little spreadsheet thing I'd put together in 2012 which aggregates all the Capital Lakes Dragonfest times into a single table; you can check it out here:

After some digging, I did find out that the race was 80m shorter this year (350m in 2011+2012, 270m in 2014), so our crazy speed improvement was helped a lot by that, and times in general were much faster than last year.  I added in a new "pace" column to account for the length difference.

I put up a graph of relative paces over here, highlighting our own paces (bigger numbers = better) -

So, our paces this year were actually uniformly higher than they were in previous years.  (When I'd originally posted this, I'd thought that the race was 250m, which had put us just about even with our other paces.)

Anyway, had a lot of fun, looking forward to next year.
