Interpretation
Tim (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Paul (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM. That gave Tim a 2 minutes head start on Paul. On foot, Tim ran 1:18:16 and Paul ran 1:16:20 — Paul was 1:56 faster than Tim. Tim took official place 705th (time-based 587th) and Paul took official place 707th (time-based 532nd). Tim's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Paul was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Paul gained 2:18 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
