Athlete B
OfficialKim B Knez Dostal

Wave start 8:02 AM (A-INV)
Interpretation
Thomas (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Kim (A-INV) started at 8:02 AM. That gave Kim a 48 minutes head start on Thomas because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Thomas ran 1:19:14 and Kim ran 2:07:10 — Thomas was 47:56 faster than Kim. Thomas took official place 812th (time-based 624th) and Kim took official place 810th (time-based 1322nd). Kim's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Thomas was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Thomas gained 16:49 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
