Interpretation
Eric (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 27 minutes head start on Eric because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Eric ran 1:10:01 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 21:32 faster than Eric. Eric took official place 657th (time-based 323rd) 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 10:58 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
