Interpretation
Emmy (AAA-DR) started at 8:27 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 3 minutes head start on Emmy because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Emmy ran 1:48:18 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 59:49 faster than Emmy. Emmy took official place 960th (time-based 1214th) 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 23:57 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
