Athlete B
OfficialMark B Miller
#1343 · 2:51:19 · M74 · Group AAA · INV
Wave start 8:00 AM (AAA-INV)
Interpretation
Rick (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Mark (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM. That gave Mark a 39 minutes head start on Rick because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Rick ran 2:12:35 and Mark ran 2:51:19 — Rick was 38:44 faster than Mark. Rick took official place 1345th (time-based 1338th) and Mark took official place 1343rd (time-based 1386th). Mark's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Rick was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Rick gained 14:45 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
