Interpretation
Rob (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Rob because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Rob ran 1:44:56 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 56:27 faster than Rob. Rob took official place 1233rd (time-based 1164th) 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 23:34 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
