Interpretation
Paul (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Heather (G-DR) started at 8:35 AM. That gave Heather a 8 minutes head start on Paul. On foot, Paul ran 1:28:03 and Heather ran 1:36:03 — Paul was 8:00 faster than Heather. Paul took official place 867th (time-based 866th) and Heather took official place 866th (time-based 1032nd). Heather's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Paul was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Paul gained 2:33 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
