Interpretation
Chris (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Chris because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Chris ran 1:43:11 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 54:42 faster than Chris. Chris took official place 1215th (time-based 1141st) 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 20:19 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
