Interpretation
Craig (AA-DR) started at 8:28 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 4 minutes head start on Craig because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Craig ran 1:45:08 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 56:39 faster than Craig. Craig took official place 912th (time-based 1166th) 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 23:19 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
