Interpretation
Nicky (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; John (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM. That gave John a 4 minutes head start on Nicky. On foot, Nicky ran 1:50:15 and John ran 1:53:48 — Nicky was 3:33 faster than John. Nicky took official place 1299th (time-based 1230th) and John took official place 1295th (time-based 1255th). John's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Nicky was faster on foot. Biggest swing: John gained 6:22 from Windy Gap to Muir Woods.
