That gave Edward a 24 minutes head start on Christopher because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Christopher ran 1:21:55 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 33:26 faster than Christopher. Christopher took official place 831st (time-based 705th) 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 14:59 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
