Interpretation
Mike (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Ryan (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM. That gave Mike a 3 minutes head start on Ryan. On foot, Mike ran 1:45:47 and Ryan ran 1:43:26 — Ryan was 2:21 faster than Mike. Mike took official place 1237th (time-based 1176th) and Ryan took official place 1240th (time-based 1146th). Mike's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Ryan was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ryan gained 2:48 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
