Francis (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Francis because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Francis ran 1:37:09 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 48:40 faster than Francis. Francis took official place 1191st (time-based 1059th) and Edward took official place 2nd (time-based 1st). Edward was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Edward gained 17:38 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
