Wave start 8:46 AM (U-DR)
Athlete B
OfficialTristan Bunderson
#945 · 1:59:42 · F25 · Group P · INV
Wave start 8:15 AM (P-INV)
Interpretation
John (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Tristan (P-INV) started at 8:15 AM. That gave Tristan a 31 minutes head start on John because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, John ran 1:28:53 and Tristan ran 1:59:42 — John was 30:49 faster than Tristan. John took official place 950th (time-based 884th) and Tristan took official place 945th (time-based 1285th). Tristan's head start was enough to flip the official order even though John was faster on foot. Biggest swing: John gained 8:41 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
