Interpretation
James (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM; Ruby (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave James a 43 minutes head start on Ruby because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, James ran 1:40:26 and Ruby ran 59:05 — Ruby was 41:21 faster than James. James took official place 504th (time-based 1100th) and Ruby took official place 509th (time-based 56th). James's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Ruby was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ruby gained 15:14 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
