Interpretation
Mark (R-DR) started at 8:44 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 20 minutes head start on Mark because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Mark ran 1:43:10 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 54:41 faster than Mark. Mark took official place 1192nd (time-based 1140th) 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 21:45 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
