Interpretation
Patrick (T-DR) started at 8:45 AM; Paul (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM. That gave Patrick a 5 minutes head start on Paul. On foot, Patrick ran 1:50:56 and Paul ran 1:46:07 — Paul was 4:49 faster than Patrick. Patrick took official place 1271st (time-based 1234th) and Paul took official place 1272nd (time-based 1182nd). Patrick's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Paul was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Paul gained 8:34 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
