James (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 25 minutes head start on James because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, James ran 1:14:35 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 26:06 faster than James. James took official place 692nd (time-based 464th) 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 10:31 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
