Darin (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Darin because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Darin ran 1:24:03 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 35:34 faster than Darin. Darin took official place 836th (time-based 772nd) 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 14:20 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
