Lucy (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 19 minutes head start on Lucy because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Lucy ran 1:46:13 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 57:44 faster than Lucy. Lucy took official place 1216th (time-based 1184th) 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 24:01 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
