Wave start 8:41 AM (N-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Samantha (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 17 minutes head start on Samantha because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Samantha ran 1:29:33 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 41:04 faster than Samantha. Samantha took official place 848th (time-based 896th) and Edward took official place 2nd (time-based 1st). Edward was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Edward gained 17:16 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
