Wave start 8:51 AM (Z-DR)
Athlete B

Interpretation
Liam (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 27 minutes head start on Liam because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Liam ran 1:13:09 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 24:40 faster than Liam. Liam took official place 704th (time-based 428th) 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 13:10 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
