Interpretation
Luke (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 15 minutes head start on Luke because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Luke ran 1:46:35 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 58:06 faster than Luke. Luke took official place 1167th (time-based 1191st) 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 21:23 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
