Interpretation
Bruce (K-DR) started at 8:38 AM; Anita (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Bruce a 1 minute head start on Anita. On foot, Bruce ran 2:07:49 and Anita ran 2:06:56 — Anita was 0:53 faster than Bruce. Bruce took official place 1320th (time-based 1323rd) and Anita took official place 1322nd (time-based 1318th). Bruce's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Anita was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Anita gained 4:52 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
