Interpretation
Chris (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Alston (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Alston a 7 minutes head start on Chris. On foot, Chris ran 1:43:11 and Alston ran 1:50:05 — Chris was 6:54 faster than Alston. Chris took official place 1215th (time-based 1141st) and Alston took official place 1211th (time-based 1227th). Alston's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Chris was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Chris gained 1:58 from Windy Gap to Muir Woods.
