Interpretation
Liz (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Craig (AA-DR) started at 8:28 AM. That gave Craig a 15 minutes head start on Liz. On foot, Liz ran 1:30:16 and Craig ran 1:45:08 — Liz was 14:52 faster than Craig. Liz took official place 915th (time-based 916th) and Craig took official place 912th (time-based 1166th). Craig's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Liz was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Liz gained 7:18 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
