Interpretation
Thomas (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 22 minutes head start on Thomas because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Thomas ran 1:48:37 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:00:08 faster than Thomas. Thomas took official place 1262nd (time-based 1218th) 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 24:08 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
