Interpretation

Dave (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM; Elsie (M-DR) started at 8:40 AM. That gave Dave a 40 minutes head start on Elsie because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Dave ran 1:56:44 and Elsie ran 1:16:47 — Elsie was 39:57 faster than Dave. Dave took official place 596th (time-based 1270th) and Elsie took official place 597th (time-based 543rd). Dave's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Elsie was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Elsie gained 14:27 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
