Karen (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 15 minutes head start on Karen because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Karen ran 1:54:49 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:06:20 faster than Karen. Karen took official place 1255th (time-based 1258th) 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 26:42 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
