Athlete B
OfficialMark B Miller
#1343 · 2:51:19 · M74 · Group AAA · INV
Wave start 8:00 AM (AAA-INV)
Interpretation
Justin (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM; Mark (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM. That gave Mark a 41 minutes head start on Justin because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Justin ran 2:10:28 and Mark ran 2:51:19 — Justin was 40:51 faster than Mark. Justin took official place 1344th (time-based 1335th) and Mark took official place 1343rd (time-based 1386th). Mark's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Justin was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Justin gained 16:11 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
