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

Interpretation
Matthew (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 27 minutes head start on Matthew because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Matthew ran 1:21:45 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 33:16 faster than Matthew. Matthew took official place 906th (time-based 699th) 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 14:55 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
