Interpretation
Paul (B-DR) started at 8:30 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 6 minutes head start on Paul because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Paul ran 2:17:18 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:28:49 faster than Paul. Paul took official place 1329th (time-based 1347th) 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 28:55 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
