Interpretation
Megan (M-DR) started at 8:40 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 16 minutes head start on Megan because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Megan ran 2:06:44 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:18:15 faster than Megan. Megan took official place 1325th (time-based 1317th) 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 24:08 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
