Interpretation
Timothy (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Timothy because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Timothy ran 1:24:58 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 36:29 faster than Timothy. Timothy took official place 952nd (time-based 791st) 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 14:41 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
