#1186 · 1:36:26 · M40 · Group Y · DR
Wave start 8:50 AM (Y-DR)
Athlete B
OfficialEdward R Owens
#2 · 48:29 · M32 · Group Z · INV
Wave start 8:24 AM (Z-INV)
Interpretation
Adam (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Adam because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Adam ran 1:36:26 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 47:57 faster than Adam. Adam took official place 1186th (time-based 1045th) 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 16:29 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
