Interpretation
Noah (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Emily (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Emily a 8 minutes head start on Noah. On foot, Noah ran 1:17:47 and Emily ran 1:25:28 — Noah was 7:41 faster than Emily. Noah took official place 803rd (time-based 575th) and Emily took official place 799th (time-based 802nd). Emily's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Noah was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Noah gained 3:00 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
