Ronald (AAA-DR) started at 8:27 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 3 minutes head start on Ronald because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Ronald ran 2:22:52 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:34:23 faster than Ronald. Ronald took official place 1335th (time-based 1358th) 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 32:51 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
