Interpretation
Michael (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 36 minutes head start on Michael because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Michael ran 1:16:58 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 16:16 faster than Michael. Michael took official place 682nd (time-based 552nd) 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 8:04 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
