Wave start 8:45 AM (T-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Andy (T-DR) started at 8:45 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 21 minutes head start on Andy because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Andy ran 1:29:49 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 41:20 faster than Andy. Andy took official place 949th (time-based 908th) and Edward took official place 2nd (time-based 1st). Edward was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Edward gained 15:25 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
