Paul (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM; Tim (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM. That gave Tim a 2 minutes head start on Paul. On foot, Paul ran 1:16:20 and Tim ran 1:18:16 — Paul was 1:56 faster than Tim. Paul took official place 707th (time-based 532nd) and Tim took official place 705th (time-based 587th). Tim's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Paul was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Paul gained 2:18 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
