Interpretation
Andy (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Andy because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Andy ran 1:11:03 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 22:34 faster than Andy. Andy took official place 658th (time-based 354th) 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 9:43 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
