Interpretation
Alex (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 40 minutes head start on Alex because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Alex ran 1:39:26 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 38:44 faster than Alex. Alex took official place 1220th (time-based 1085th) 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 14:02 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
