Interpretation

Tomas (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM; Michael (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM. That gave Tomas a 51 minutes head start on Michael because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Tomas ran 1:56:07 and Michael ran 1:05:40 — Michael was 50:27 faster than Tomas. Tomas took official place 591st (time-based 1266th) and Michael took official place 595th (time-based 197th). Tomas's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Michael was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Michael gained 18:13 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
