Interpretation
Will (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 41 minutes head start on Will because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Will ran 1:19:44 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 19:02 faster than Will. Will took official place 856th (time-based 643rd) 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 9:40 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
