Rick (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 15 minutes head start on Rick because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Rick ran 2:12:35 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:24:06 faster than Rick. Rick took official place 1345th (time-based 1338th) 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 29:45 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
