Cassandra (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Julia (Q-INV) started at 8:16 AM. That gave Julia a 27 minutes head start on Cassandra because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Cassandra ran 1:27:25 and Julia ran 57:02 — Julia was 30:23 faster than Cassandra. Cassandra took official place 841st (time-based 849th) and Julia took official place 3rd (time-based 32nd). Julia was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Julia gained 12:55 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
