Interpretation
Juan (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Juan because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Juan ran 1:13:52 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 25:23 faster than Juan. Juan took official place 700th (time-based 447th) 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 10:56 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
