Thomas (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Chris (J-INV) started at 8:10 AM. That gave Chris a 36 minutes head start on Thomas because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Thomas ran 1:48:37 and Chris ran 1:00:42 — Chris was 47:55 faster than Thomas. Thomas took official place 1262nd (time-based 1218th) 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 19:50 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
