Interpretation
Marc (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Nick (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM. That gave Nick a 5 minutes head start on Marc. On foot, Marc ran 1:42:26 and Nick ran 1:46:40 — Marc was 4:14 faster than Nick. Marc took official place 1200th (time-based 1126th) and Nick took official place 1196th (time-based 1192nd). Nick's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Marc was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Marc gained 4:02 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
