Interpretation
Sean (AAA-DR) started at 8:27 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 3 minutes head start on Sean because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Sean ran 1:47:48 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 59:19 faster than Sean. Sean took official place 948th (time-based 1206th) 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 22:09 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
