Nicky (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 27 minutes head start on Nicky because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Nicky ran 1:50:15 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:01:46 faster than Nicky. Nicky took official place 1299th (time-based 1230th) 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 23:42 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
