Wave start 8:43 AM (Q-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Paul (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 33 minutes head start on Paul because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Paul ran 1:28:03 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 27:21 faster than Paul. Paul took official place 867th (time-based 866th) 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 10:43 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
