Interpretation
Lily (M-DR) started at 8:40 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 16 minutes head start on Lily because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Lily ran 1:29:00 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 40:31 faster than Lily. Lily took official place 808th (time-based 886th) 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 15:19 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
