Hilary (M-DR) started at 8:40 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 16 minutes head start on Hilary because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Hilary ran 1:46:05 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 57:36 faster than Hilary. Hilary took official place 1177th (time-based 1180th) 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 20:36 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
