Steven (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 18 minutes head start on Steven because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Steven ran 1:46:28 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 57:59 faster than Steven. Steven took official place 1201st (time-based 1189th) 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 19:46 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
