Michael (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Michael because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Michael ran 1:51:38 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:03:09 faster than Michael. Michael took official place 1305th (time-based 1241st) 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 22:41 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
