Damon (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 15 minutes head start on Damon because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Damon ran 2:06:13 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:17:44 faster than Damon. Damon took official place 1317th (time-based 1314th) 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 27:17 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
