Interpretation
Ed (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 23 minutes head start on Ed because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Ed ran 1:21:35 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 33:06 faster than Ed. Ed took official place 801st (time-based 694th) 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 13:36 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
