Interpretation
Alston (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Emily (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Alston a 4 minutes head start on Emily. On foot, Alston ran 1:50:05 and Emily ran 1:46:05 — Emily was 4:00 faster than Alston. Alston took official place 1211th (time-based 1227th) and Emily took official place 1212th (time-based 1181st). Alston's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Emily was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Emily gained 0:05 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
