Emily (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 19 minutes head start on Emily because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Emily ran 1:46:05 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 57:36 faster than Emily. Emily took official place 1212th (time-based 1181st) 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 22:11 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
