Interpretation
Cheryl (H-DR) started at 8:36 AM; James (A-INV) started at 8:02 AM. That gave James a 34 minutes head start on Cheryl because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Cheryl ran 2:40:09 and James ran 3:09:25 — Cheryl was 29:16 faster than James. Cheryl took official place 1387th (time-based 1379th) and James took official place 1383rd (time-based 1395th). James's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Cheryl was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Cheryl gained 14:21 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
