Interpretation
Michael (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Charles (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM. That gave Charles a 4 minutes head start on Michael. On foot, Michael ran 1:51:38 and Charles ran 1:55:19 — Michael was 3:41 faster than Charles. Michael took official place 1305th (time-based 1241st) and Charles took official place 1300th (time-based 1261st). Charles's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Michael was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Michael gained 2:26 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
