Interpretation
Paul (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; James (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM. That gave James a 3 minutes head start on Paul. On foot, Paul ran 1:46:07 and James ran 1:48:52 — Paul was 2:45 faster than James. Paul took official place 1272nd (time-based 1182nd) and James took official place 1270th (time-based 1221st). James's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Paul was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Paul gained 2:51 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
