Interpretation

Alex (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 27 minutes head start on Alex because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Alex ran 1:13:55 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 25:26 faster than Alex. Alex took official place 720th (time-based 449th) 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 12:01 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
