In my last post I looked at visualising distributions. Let's apply what we learnt there to a real world data set. We'll continue our theme of using a set of rowing race results. You can see the result below.

How do you stack up?

The Women’s Eights Head of the River Race is the largest women’s rowing race in the world with 320 crews taking part. Over 2,300 results from 8 years of racing are shown below.

For example in 2014 York University Boat Club finished with a time of 20:37.8 placing them 93rd. Each line represents a crew's finish time.

This is my first attempt at putting annotation and narrative front and centre in a data visualisation. I've taken inspiration from Flourish and Tableau stories.
