Interpretation
Tom (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM; Joel (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Joel a 5 minutes head start on Tom. On foot, Tom ran 1:24:47 and Joel ran 1:29:44 — Tom was 4:57 faster than Joel. Tom took official place 907th (time-based 786th) and Joel took official place 905th (time-based 905th). Joel's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Tom was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Tom gained 2:18 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
