Interpretation
Michael (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Austin (T-DR) started at 8:45 AM. That gave Austin a 1 minute head start on Michael. On foot, Michael ran 1:16:58 and Austin ran 1:17:53 — Michael was 0:55 faster than Austin. Michael took official place 682nd (time-based 552nd) and Austin took official place 681st (time-based 579th). Austin's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Michael was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Michael gained 0:56 from Windy Gap to Muir Woods.
