Comparing Emily Bridgers To Jacob Heppner
Emily Bridgers just finished at the top of the leaderboard for 16.1 and her performance was amazing: 354 reps, or just over halfway through the 14th round. Jacob Heppner finished tied for second on the men's leaderboard tying Noah Ohlsen with a score of 350 reps, just about halfway through the 14th round. So what's the differences in their performances? Check out their pace per round:

Bridgers vs Heppner: 16.1

They both completed 13 rounds, so we're comparing their times to complete each round. Their total time doesn't add up to 20 minutes because this doesn't include the time left at the end of their 13th round which they used to get into the 14th round. Also, the time to complete includes some transition time as I measure the end of each round/the start of the next round from when their feet hit the floor after completing the pull-ups.

So what're you looking at? Simply put: the blue boxes are the rounds Emily Bridgers beat Jacob Heppner and the red boxes are the opposite. The number inside is the margin of difference, so a blue box with -2.33 (like in round 11) means Bridgers beat Heppner by 2.33 seconds in that round.
