Interpretation
Peter (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Peter because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Peter ran 1:19:20 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 30:51 faster than Peter. Peter took official place 814th (time-based 626th) 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 12:36 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
