MARK (M-DR) started at 8:40 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 16 minutes head start on MARK because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, MARK ran 1:24:26 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 35:57 faster than MARK. MARK took official place 709th (time-based 778th) 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 14:20 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
