Mike (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 36 minutes head start on Mike because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Mike ran 1:45:47 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 45:05 faster than Mike. Mike took official place 1237th (time-based 1176th) 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 20:44 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
