Interpretation
Thomas (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Penelope (A-DR) started at 8:29 AM. That gave Penelope a 21 minutes head start on Thomas. On foot, Thomas ran 1:39:59 and Penelope ran 2:00:59 — Thomas was 21:00 faster than Penelope. Thomas took official place 1226th (time-based 1091st) and Penelope took official place 1225th (time-based 1294th). Penelope's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Thomas was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Thomas gained 9:47 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
