Greg (K-DR) started at 8:38 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 14 minutes head start on Greg because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Greg ran 1:31:46 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 43:17 faster than Greg. Greg took official place 826th (time-based 939th) 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 15:52 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
