Interpretation
Heather (G-DR) started at 8:35 AM; Paul (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Heather a 8 minutes head start on Paul. On foot, Heather ran 1:36:03 and Paul ran 1:28:03 — Paul was 8:00 faster than Heather. Heather took official place 866th (time-based 1032nd) and Paul took official place 867th (time-based 866th). Heather's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Paul was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Paul gained 2:33 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
