Interpretation
Damon (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM; Rachael (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM. That gave Damon a 3 minutes head start on Rachael. On foot, Damon ran 2:06:13 and Rachael ran 2:03:53 — Rachael was 2:20 faster than Damon. Damon took official place 1317th (time-based 1314th) and Rachael took official place 1321st (time-based 1305th). Damon's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Rachael was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Rachael gained 2:46 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
