Interpretation
Maggie (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 15 minutes head start on Maggie because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Maggie ran 2:07:59 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:19:30 faster than Maggie. Maggie took official place 1327th (time-based 1324th) 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 29:41 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
