Wave start 8:50 AM (Y-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Paul (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Paul because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Paul ran 1:46:07 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 57:38 faster than Paul. Paul took official place 1272nd (time-based 1182nd) and Edward took official place 2nd (time-based 1st). Edward was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Edward gained 18:59 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
