Interpretation
Alex (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Alex because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Alex ran 1:21:01 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 32:32 faster than Alex. Alex took official place 865th (time-based 677th) 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 13:22 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
