Interpretation
Chad (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 24 minutes head start on Chad because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Chad ran 1:26:48 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 38:19 faster than Chad. Chad took official place 947th (time-based 825th) 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 14:46 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
