Interpretation
Alex (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Chris (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM. That gave Chris a 4 minutes head start on Alex. On foot, Alex ran 1:39:26 and Chris ran 1:43:11 — Alex was 3:45 faster than Chris. Alex took official place 1220th (time-based 1085th) and Chris took official place 1215th (time-based 1141st). Chris's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Alex was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Alex gained 1:59 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
