Wave start 8:39 AM (L-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Maxwell (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Thomas (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM. That gave Maxwell a 11 minutes head start on Thomas. On foot, Maxwell ran 1:50:55 and Thomas ran 1:39:59 — Thomas was 10:56 faster than Maxwell. Maxwell took official place 1223rd (time-based 1233rd) and Thomas took official place 1226th (time-based 1091st). Maxwell's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Thomas was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Thomas gained 6:20 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
