Interpretation
Pam (AAA-DR) started at 8:27 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 3 minutes head start on Pam because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Pam ran 1:41:05 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 52:36 faster than Pam. Pam took official place 789th (time-based 1113th) 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 18:53 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
