Interpretation
Yoyo (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Yoyo because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Yoyo ran 1:11:22 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 22:53 faster than Yoyo. Yoyo took official place 660th (time-based 366th) 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 8:56 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
