Interpretation
Ryan (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Chris (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Chris a 8 minutes head start on Ryan. On foot, Ryan ran 1:18:39 and Chris ran 1:26:38 — Ryan was 7:59 faster than Chris. Ryan took official place 821st (time-based 600th) and Chris took official place 820th (time-based 823rd). Chris's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Ryan was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Ryan gained 3:46 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
