Interpretation
Sarah (Q-INV) started at 8:16 AM; Torsten (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM. That gave Sarah a 30 minutes head start on Torsten because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Sarah ran 1:33:57 and Torsten ran 1:04:43 — Torsten was 29:14 faster than Sarah. Sarah took official place 546th (time-based 987th) and Torsten took official place 550th (time-based 173rd). Sarah's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Torsten was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Torsten gained 11:41 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
