Interpretation
James (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM; Sarah (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM. That gave Sarah a 5 minutes head start on James. On foot, James ran 1:48:52 and Sarah ran 1:52:57 — James was 4:05 faster than Sarah. James took official place 1270th (time-based 1221st) and Sarah took official place 1265th (time-based 1250th). Sarah's head start was enough to flip the official order even though James was faster on foot. Biggest swing: James gained 2:35 from Windy Gap to Muir Woods.
