Interpretation
Marc (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Marc because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Marc ran 1:42:26 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 53:57 faster than Marc. Marc took official place 1200th (time-based 1126th) 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 16:07 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
