Peggy (AAA-DR) started at 8:27 AM; Edward (Z-INV) started at 8:24 AM. That gave Edward a 3 minutes head start on Peggy because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Peggy ran 2:06:02 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:17:33 faster than Peggy. Peggy took official place 1246th (time-based 1313th) 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 25:12 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
