John (R-DR) started at 8:44 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 20 minutes head start on John because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, John ran 1:32:58 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 44:29 faster than John. John took official place 1020th (time-based 963rd) 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 18:26 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
