Lloyd (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM; Francis (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM. That gave Lloyd a 50 minutes head start on Francis because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Lloyd ran 2:27:11 and Francis ran 1:37:09 — Francis was 50:02 faster than Lloyd. Lloyd took official place 1194th (time-based 1363rd) and Francis took official place 1191st (time-based 1059th). Francis was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Francis gained 17:41 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
