Emily (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 19 minutes head start on Emily because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Emily ran 1:25:28 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 36:59 faster than Emily. Emily took official place 799th (time-based 802nd) 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 15:13 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
