Interpretation
Zach (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 41 minutes head start on Zach because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Zach ran 1:20:50 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 20:08 faster than Zach. Zach took official place 884th (time-based 672nd) 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 10:01 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
