Jean (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 17 minutes head start on Jean because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Jean ran 1:52:04 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:03:35 faster than Jean. Jean took official place 1247th (time-based 1247th) 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 25:36 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
