Interpretation

Megan (L-INV) started at 8:12 AM; Emil (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM. That gave Megan a 38 minutes head start on Emil because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Megan ran 1:34:16 and Emil ran 56:46 — Emil was 37:30 faster than Megan. Megan took official place 530th (time-based 994th) and Emil took official place 531st (time-based 27th). Megan's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Emil was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Emil gained 14:51 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
