Wave start 8:50 AM (Y-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Josh (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Josh because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Josh ran 1:23:28 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 34:59 faster than Josh. Josh took official place 917th (time-based 755th) 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 16:03 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
