Evelyn (H-DR) started at 8:36 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 12 minutes head start on Evelyn because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Evelyn ran 1:52:35 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:04:06 faster than Evelyn. Evelyn took official place 1204th (time-based 1249th) 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 26:23 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
