split times

Segment pace markers

Split times are intermediate measurements recorded at specific points during a race or timed event, showing how long it took to complete each segment.

Runners, swimmers, and cyclists use splits to analyze pacing strategy and identify where they gained or lost time.

A negative split means completing the second half faster than the first, generally considered optimal racing strategy.
