Ben (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 18 minutes head start on Ben because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Ben ran 1:51:36 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:03:07 faster than Ben. Ben took official place 1254th (time-based 1239th) 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 22:48 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
