Wave start 8:50 AM (Y-DR)
Athlete B
OfficialChris Lundy
#1 · 1:00:42 · F55 · Group J · INV
Wave start 8:10 AM (J-INV)
Interpretation
Adam (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 40 minutes head start on Adam because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Adam ran 1:36:26 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 35:44 faster than Adam. Adam took official place 1186th (time-based 1045th) 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 12:11 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
