Few are able to carry the match up through the 3rd Fr. Sure we can all do some races and get some winners but I take both the Doc and Jimmies advice and let the computer perform what my brain can't on a consistent basis.

Mitch..
You make strong valid points in your posts....
Just to refresh and so that we are on the same page.
1st Fraction + 2nd Fraction + 3rd Fraction = Final Time
Moving the 3rd Fraction across the equal sign gives us:
1st Fraction + 2nd Fraction = Final Time - 3rd Fraction
In this post, we are focusing on energy expenditure adjustments to faster pace or slower pace and its effect on final time.
We borrowed the above equation and focus on energy changes exclusively.
So we have:
1st Fraction (2) (changes) + 2nd Fraction ( changes) + 3rd (-1) (net changes from 1st and 2nd fraction) = Final Time
Moving the 3rd fraction across the equal sign, we have:
1st F (2)(changes) + 2nd F ( changes) = Final Time - ( net changes from 1st F and 2nd Fractions )
So whatever changes done from the first two fractions are "carried forward" and adjusted to the third fraction. We just moved the third fraction across the "equal" sign to make things easier......
So we do always consider the effect on the 3rd fraction just not implicitly. I have always stressed the use of Sartin programs and applying Bradshaw's match up concepts.
