Interpretation
Ben (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; James (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM. That gave James a 1 minute head start on Ben. On foot, Ben ran 1:13:41 and James ran 1:14:35 — Ben was 0:54 faster than James. Ben took official place 694th (time-based 441st) and James took official place 692nd (time-based 464th). James's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Ben was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ben gained 0:29 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
