Interpretation
Tim (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Tim because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Tim ran 1:18:16 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 29:47 faster than Tim. Tim took official place 705th (time-based 587th) 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 12:05 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
