Pick two athletes to see how the race played out between them — by actual time, head start, and checkpoint.
Athlete A
OfficialLloyd Kahn
#1194 · 2:27:11 · M91 · Group AAA · INV
Wave start 8:00 AM (AAA-INV)
Athlete B
OfficialFord McFerran
#1199 · 1:47:21 · M10 · Group N · DR
Wave start 8:41 AM (N-DR)
Interpretation
Lloyd (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM; Ford (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM. That gave Lloyd a 41 minutes head start on Ford because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Lloyd ran 2:27:11 and Ford ran 1:47:21 — Ford was 39:50 faster than Lloyd. Lloyd took official place 1194th (time-based 1363rd) and Ford took official place 1199th (time-based 1202nd). Lloyd's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Ford was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ford gained 12:22 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
