Interpretation
Thomas (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; William (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM. That gave William a 4 minutes head start on Thomas. On foot, Thomas ran 1:48:37 and William ran 1:51:59 — Thomas was 3:22 faster than William. Thomas took official place 1262nd (time-based 1218th) and William took official place 1258th (time-based 1246th). William's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Thomas was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Thomas gained 1:29 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
