Interpretation
JC (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 40 minutes head start on JC because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, JC ran 1:19:34 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 18:52 faster than JC. JC took official place 818th (time-based 637th) 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 9:00 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
