Thomas (T-DR) started at 8:45 AM; Adam (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM. That gave Thomas a 5 minutes head start on Adam. On foot, Thomas ran 1:41:09 and Adam ran 1:36:26 — Adam was 4:43 faster than Thomas. Thomas took official place 1181st (time-based 1114th) and Adam took official place 1186th (time-based 1045th). Thomas's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Adam was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Adam gained 6:49 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
