Brian (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 25 minutes head start on Brian because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Brian ran 1:17:31 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 29:02 faster than Brian. Brian took official place 753rd (time-based 569th) 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 12:41 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
