Interpretation
Luke (SCR-DR) started at 8:52 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 28 minutes head start on Luke because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Luke ran 1:17:45 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 29:16 faster than Luke. Luke took official place 824th (time-based 574th) 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 13:11 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
