Interpretation
Noah (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 41 minutes head start on Noah because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Noah ran 1:17:47 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 17:05 faster than Noah. Noah took official place 803rd (time-based 575th) 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 7:55 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
