Interpretation
Lance (SCR-DR) started at 8:52 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 28 minutes head start on Lance because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Lance ran 1:11:22 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 22:53 faster than Lance. Lance took official place 690th (time-based 365th) 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 10:30 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
