Karen (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 29 minutes head start on Karen because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Karen ran 1:54:49 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 54:07 faster than Karen. Karen took official place 1255th (time-based 1258th) and Chris took official place 1st (time-based 71st). Chris was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Chris gained 22:24 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
