Interpretation
Michal (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Michal because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Michal ran 1:23:59 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 35:30 faster than Michal. Michal took official place 928th (time-based 769th) 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 13:06 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
