Alea (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 19 minutes head start on Alea because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Alea ran 1:18:59 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 30:30 faster than Alea. Alea took official place 669th (time-based 614th) 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 12:36 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
