Interpretation
Simon (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Eddie (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Eddie a 11 minutes head start on Simon. On foot, Simon ran 1:44:08 and Eddie ran 1:54:59 — Simon was 10:51 faster than Eddie. Simon took official place 1259th (time-based 1157th) and Eddie took official place 1257th (time-based 1259th). Eddie's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Simon was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Simon gained 9:11 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
