Wave start 8:00 AM (AAA-INV)
Athlete B
OfficialSpencer Bryan
#1198 · 1:39:19 · M42 · Group X · DR
Wave start 8:49 AM (X-DR)
Interpretation
Lloyd (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM; Spencer (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM. That gave Lloyd a 49 minutes head start on Spencer because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Lloyd ran 2:27:11 and Spencer ran 1:39:19 — Spencer was 47:52 faster than Lloyd. Lloyd took official place 1194th (time-based 1363rd) and Spencer took official place 1198th (time-based 1083rd). Lloyd's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Spencer was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Spencer gained 14:28 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
