Interpretation
Luke (SCR-DR) started at 8:52 AM; Ryan (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM. That gave Ryan a 1 minute head start on Luke. On foot, Luke ran 1:17:45 and Ryan ran 1:18:39 — Luke was 0:54 faster than Ryan. Luke took official place 824th (time-based 574th) and Ryan took official place 821st (time-based 600th). Ryan's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Luke was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ryan gained 1:11 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
