Interpretation
Nick (AAA-DR) started at 8:27 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 3 minutes head start on Nick because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Nick ran 1:44:42 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 56:13 faster than Nick. Nick took official place 877th (time-based 1160th) 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 19:52 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
