Interpretation
Melanie (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM; Evelyn (H-DR) started at 8:36 AM. That gave Evelyn a 6 minutes head start on Melanie. On foot, Melanie ran 1:46:45 and Evelyn ran 1:52:35 — Melanie was 5:50 faster than Evelyn. Melanie took official place 1207th (time-based 1193rd) and Evelyn took official place 1204th (time-based 1249th). Evelyn's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Melanie was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Melanie gained 3:57 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
