Interpretation
Maxwell (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 15 minutes head start on Maxwell because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Maxwell ran 1:50:55 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:02:26 faster than Maxwell. Maxwell took official place 1223rd (time-based 1233rd) 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 22:22 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
