Interpretation
Chris (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Emily (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Emily a 3 minutes head start on Chris. On foot, Chris ran 1:43:11 and Emily ran 1:46:05 — Chris was 2:54 faster than Emily. Chris took official place 1215th (time-based 1141st) and Emily took official place 1212th (time-based 1181st). Emily's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Chris was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Chris gained 1:57 from Windy Gap to Muir Woods.
