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

Interpretation
Max (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Max because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Max ran 1:47:12 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 58:43 faster than Max. Max took official place 1279th (time-based 1199th) 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 23:31 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
