Polly (E-DR) started at 8:33 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 9 minutes head start on Polly because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Polly ran 2:07:01 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:18:32 faster than Polly. Polly took official place 1288th (time-based 1320th) 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 27:19 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
