Paul (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Julia (Q-INV) started at 8:16 AM. That gave Julia a 27 minutes head start on Paul because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Paul ran 1:28:03 and Julia ran 57:02 — Julia was 31:01 faster than Paul. Paul took official place 867th (time-based 866th) 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 12:27 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
