Daniel (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Daniel because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Daniel ran 1:18:11 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 29:42 faster than Daniel. Daniel took official place 794th (time-based 585th) 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 11:24 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
