Interpretation
Brian (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 39 minutes head start on Brian because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Brian ran 1:14:45 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 14:03 faster than Brian. Brian took official place 697th (time-based 471st) 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 6:40 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
