Wave start 8:41 AM (N-DR)
Athlete B
OfficialLloyd Kahn
#1194 · 2:27:11 · M91 · Group AAA · INV
Wave start 8:00 AM (AAA-INV)
Interpretation
Ford (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM; Lloyd (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM. That gave Lloyd a 41 minutes head start on Ford because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Ford ran 1:47:21 and Lloyd ran 2:27:11 — Ford was 39:50 faster than Lloyd. Ford took official place 1199th (time-based 1202nd) and Lloyd took official place 1194th (time-based 1363rd). Lloyd's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Ford was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ford gained 12:22 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
