Robert (R-DR) started at 8:44 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 34 minutes head start on Robert because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Robert ran 1:27:43 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 27:01 faster than Robert. Robert took official place 879th (time-based 857th) 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 12:01 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
