Michael (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 38 minutes head start on Michael because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Michael ran 1:40:30 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 39:48 faster than Michael. Michael took official place 1202nd (time-based 1102nd) 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 14:05 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
