Interpretation
Chris (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 19 minutes head start on Chris because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Chris ran 1:26:38 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 38:09 faster than Chris. Chris took official place 820th (time-based 823rd) 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 15:46 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
