Interpretation
Erik (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 18 minutes head start on Erik because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Erik ran 1:20:46 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 32:17 faster than Erik. Erik took official place 680th (time-based 671st) 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 11:43 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
