Interpretation
Tom (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Pierce (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Pierce a 7 minutes head start on Tom. On foot, Tom ran 1:18:02 and Pierce ran 1:25:00 — Tom was 6:58 faster than Pierce. Tom took official place 788th (time-based 583rd) and Pierce took official place 787th (time-based 792nd). Pierce's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Tom was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Tom gained 3:47 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
