More Austin Marathon Results

From yesterday's analysis, I realized that it's important when comparing race results between years to break the stats by sex in addition to age. As the data shows, the ratio of women to men can change significantly from year to year. And since women's times tend to be slower than men's, it can affect the overall average times.

So here are the stats comparing 2005 with 2004. I've tried something different this time by using html tables (I've learned that tables in blogger require avoiding new lines). I've broken up the runners by sex and age for both the full and half marathons. All stats are mean times. I also have the median times, but these are pretty close to the means. If someone is interested in these, I can also post them.
