Interpretation
David (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on David because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, David ran 1:20:34 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 32:05 faster than David. David took official place 849th (time-based 665th) 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 14:15 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
