Interpretation
Jacob (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Pierce (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Pierce a 8 minutes head start on Jacob. On foot, Jacob ran 1:17:10 and Pierce ran 1:25:00 — Jacob was 7:50 faster than Pierce. Jacob took official place 792nd (time-based 561st) and Pierce took official place 787th (time-based 792nd). Pierce's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Jacob was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Jacob gained 3:40 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
