Interpretation
Eddie (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; William (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM. That gave Eddie a 3 minutes head start on William. On foot, Eddie ran 1:54:59 and William ran 1:51:59 — William was 3:00 faster than Eddie. Eddie took official place 1257th (time-based 1259th) and William took official place 1258th (time-based 1246th). Eddie's head start was enough to flip the official order even though William was faster on foot. Biggest swing: William gained 3:04 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
