Interpretation
Andy (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Tom (K-DR) started at 8:38 AM. That gave Tom a 12 minutes head start on Andy. On foot, Andy ran 1:11:03 and Tom ran 1:23:00 — Andy was 11:57 faster than Tom. Andy took official place 658th (time-based 354th) and Tom took official place 656th (time-based 738th). Tom's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Andy was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Andy gained 5:00 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
