Wave start 8:50 AM (Y-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Ben (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Ben because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Ben ran 1:42:34 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 54:05 faster than Ben. Ben took official place 1243rd (time-based 1129th) and Edward took official place 2nd (time-based 1st). Edward was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Edward gained 18:04 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
