Wave start 8:46 AM (U-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Aaron (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Aaron because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Aaron ran 1:28:39 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 40:10 faster than Aaron. Aaron took official place 944th (time-based 875th) 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 15:20 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
