Interpretation
Kris (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 24 minutes head start on Kris because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Kris ran 1:22:31 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 34:02 faster than Kris. Kris took official place 845th (time-based 720th) 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 13:52 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
