Interpretation
Sarah (Q-INV) started at 8:16 AM; Jackson (SCR-DR) started at 8:52 AM. That gave Sarah a 36 minutes head start on Jackson because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Sarah ran 1:33:57 and Jackson ran 58:43 — Jackson was 35:14 faster than Sarah. Sarah took official place 546th (time-based 987th) and Jackson took official place 549th (time-based 48th). Sarah's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Jackson was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Jackson gained 13:47 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
