Wave start 8:12 AM (L-INV)
Athlete B
OfficialJerome Ross
#532 · 1:00:58 · M50 · Group U · DR
Wave start 8:46 AM (U-DR)
Interpretation
Megan (L-INV) started at 8:12 AM; Jerome (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM. That gave Megan a 34 minutes head start on Jerome because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Megan ran 1:34:16 and Jerome ran 1:00:58 — Jerome was 33:18 faster than Megan. Megan took official place 530th (time-based 994th) and Jerome took official place 532nd (time-based 78th). Megan's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Jerome was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Jerome gained 13:59 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
