My ‘Sulawesi index’ comment from above notwithstanding, splits have been behaving differently this week.

For the past 24-48 hours, at least, expansion of the pool of entries has been keeping pace with the rate of dropping times, such that position relative to nearest split has stayed fairly stable.

Last week, split times fell more rapidly than the rate of pool expansion (probably a side effect of people growing more comfortable with a new track over the course of the week), so nobody was safe for long just sitting on a time and hoping it would hold.

There may be some hope this week for those hoping to “hold on,” as participation is still only at 246K and A/B split has stayed fairly stubbornly in 1:36.55 to 1:36.6 range for a couple of days now.
