Tab (B-DR) started at 8:30 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 6 minutes head start on Tab because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Tab ran 2:00:39 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:12:10 faster than Tab. Tab took official place 1231st (time-based 1291st) 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 26:30 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
