Interpretation
Coleman (SCR-DR) started at 8:52 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 28 minutes head start on Coleman because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Coleman ran 1:22:30 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 34:01 faster than Coleman. Coleman took official place 942nd (time-based 719th) 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 15:40 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
