Josh (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Ethan (K-DR) started at 8:38 AM. That gave Ethan a 12 minutes head start on Josh. On foot, Josh ran 1:23:28 and Ethan ran 1:35:23 — Josh was 11:55 faster than Ethan. Josh took official place 917th (time-based 755th) and Ethan took official place 916th (time-based 1021st). Ethan's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Josh was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Josh gained 3:40 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
