Interpretation
Emmett (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 15 minutes head start on Emmett because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Emmett ran 1:34:31 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 46:02 faster than Emmett. Emmett took official place 919th (time-based 999th) 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 22:01 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
