Tom (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Julia (Q-INV) started at 8:16 AM. That gave Julia a 34 minutes head start on Tom because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Tom ran 1:18:02 and Julia ran 57:02 — Julia was 21:00 faster than Tom. Tom took official place 788th (time-based 583rd) and Julia took official place 3rd (time-based 32nd). Julia was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Julia gained 9:49 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
