Interpretation
Nick (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 17 minutes head start on Nick because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Nick ran 1:46:40 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 58:11 faster than Nick. Nick took official place 1196th (time-based 1192nd) 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 20:09 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
