Interpretation
Wendy (G-DR) started at 8:35 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 11 minutes head start on Wendy because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Wendy ran 1:33:38 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 45:09 faster than Wendy. Wendy took official place 802nd (time-based 977th) 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 17:08 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
