Nice result for an 8k run, too. Stumbled across your blog last night, and it kept me reading until 3am. Love the blog, Zach!

I did some more analysis, and it seems like it cannot be explained by gender. The male and female distributions each have their own bimodality, with two peaks around 6 minutes apart. My current hypothesis is that the two superimposed distributions must be "serious" vs. "charity" runners. I'm working on a new version of this using pretty graphical charts, so I'll know more soon!

So beautiful. My students rarely do what I say, but they never fail to Gaussian-distribute themselves. It always weirds me out, too -- why do so many random phenomena cluster around the mean? Really cool script, by the way. I see you still haven't switched to Python. :) Look at that Gaussian distribution! So beautiful.
