Interpretation
James (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 39 minutes head start on James because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, James ran 1:12:14 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 11:32 faster than James. James took official place 659th (time-based 397th) 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 4:58 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
