Jonathan (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Jonathan because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Jonathan ran 1:23:31 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 35:02 faster than Jonathan. Jonathan took official place 817th (time-based 756th) 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 14:55 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
