Interpretation
Ryan (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Ryan because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Ryan ran 1:44:01 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 55:32 faster than Ryan. Ryan took official place 1227th (time-based 1155th) 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 20:56 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
