Alec (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Alec because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Alec ran 1:51:06 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:02:37 faster than Alec. Alec took official place 1297th (time-based 1235th) 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 22:26 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
