Interpretation
Marc (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Ford (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM. That gave Ford a 5 minutes head start on Marc. On foot, Marc ran 1:42:26 and Ford ran 1:47:21 — Marc was 4:55 faster than Ford. Marc took official place 1200th (time-based 1126th) and Ford took official place 1199th (time-based 1202nd). Ford's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Marc was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Marc gained 6:50 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
