Polly (E-DR) started at 8:33 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 23 minutes head start on Polly because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Polly ran 2:07:01 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 1:06:19 faster than Polly. Polly took official place 1288th (time-based 1320th) 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 23:01 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
