Interpretation
Ryan (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; JC (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM. That gave JC a 1 minute head start on Ryan. On foot, Ryan ran 1:18:39 and JC ran 1:19:34 — Ryan was 0:55 faster than JC. Ryan took official place 821st (time-based 600th) and JC took official place 818th (time-based 637th). JC's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Ryan was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ryan gained 1:18 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
