Interpretation
Lucy (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Alston (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Alston a 4 minutes head start on Lucy. On foot, Lucy ran 1:46:13 and Alston ran 1:50:05 — Lucy was 3:52 faster than Alston. Lucy took official place 1216th (time-based 1184th) and Alston took official place 1211th (time-based 1227th). Alston's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Lucy was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Alston gained 1:45 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
