Henry (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 23 minutes head start on Henry because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Henry ran 1:46:13 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 57:44 faster than Henry. Henry took official place 1250th (time-based 1185th) 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 22:27 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
