Interpretation
Katharina (M-DR) started at 8:40 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 16 minutes head start on Katharina because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Katharina ran 1:28:54 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 40:25 faster than Katharina. Katharina took official place 806th (time-based 885th) 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 16:54 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
