Athlete B

Interpretation
Matt (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Hazel (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM. That gave Hazel a 49 minutes head start on Matt because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Matt ran 1:12:51 and Hazel ran 2:01:45 — Matt was 48:54 faster than Hazel. Matt took official place 667th (time-based 415th) and Hazel took official place 665th (time-based 1296th). Hazel's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Matt was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Matt gained 15:18 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
