Interpretation
Marcus (SCR-DR) started at 8:52 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 28 minutes head start on Marcus because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Marcus ran 1:09:55 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 21:26 faster than Marcus. Marcus took official place 668th (time-based 320th) 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 8:52 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
