Interpretation
Jack (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 27 minutes head start on Jack because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Jack ran 1:23:02 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 34:33 faster than Jack. Jack took official place 932nd (time-based 739th) 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 14:46 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
