#933 · 1:26:07 · M46 · Group W · DR
Wave start 8:48 AM (W-DR)
Athlete B
OfficialEdward R Owens
#2 · 48:29 · M32 · Group Z · INV
Wave start 8:24 AM (Z-INV)
Interpretation
Adam (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 24 minutes head start on Adam because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Adam ran 1:26:07 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 37:38 faster than Adam. Adam took official place 933rd (time-based 815th) 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 14:26 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
