Gordon (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 26 minutes head start on Gordon because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Gordon ran 1:01:06 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 12:37 faster than Gordon. Gordon took official place 555th (time-based 86th) 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 5:06 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
