Interpretation
Thomas (T-DR) started at 8:45 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 21 minutes head start on Thomas because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Thomas ran 1:41:09 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 52:40 faster than Thomas. Thomas took official place 1181st (time-based 1114th) 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 23:18 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
