Andrew (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 27 minutes head start on Andrew because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Andrew ran 1:17:49 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 29:20 faster than Andrew. Andrew took official place 805th (time-based 576th) 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 11:41 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
