Sarah (G-DR) started at 8:35 AM; Craig (AA-DR) started at 8:28 AM. That gave Craig a 7 minutes head start on Sarah. On foot, Sarah ran 1:38:14 and Craig ran 1:45:08 — Sarah was 6:54 faster than Craig. Sarah took official place 914th (time-based 1070th) and Craig took official place 912th (time-based 1166th). Craig's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Sarah was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Sarah gained 4:32 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
