Interpretation
Noah (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 39 minutes head start on Noah because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Noah ran 1:36:50 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 36:08 faster than Noah. Noah took official place 1172nd (time-based 1054th) and Chris took official place 1st (time-based 71st). Chris was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Chris gained 16:20 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
