Interpretation
John (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 37 minutes head start on John because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, John ran 1:53:48 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 53:06 faster than John. John took official place 1295th (time-based 1255th) 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 21:21 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
