Interpretation
Alec (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; John (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM. That gave John a 3 minutes head start on Alec. On foot, Alec ran 1:51:06 and John ran 1:53:48 — Alec was 2:42 faster than John. Alec took official place 1297th (time-based 1235th) and John took official place 1295th (time-based 1255th). John's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Alec was faster on foot. Biggest swing: John gained 3:31 from Windy Gap to Muir Woods.
