Interpretation
Sam (W-INV) started at 8:21 AM; John (Y-INV) started at 8:23 AM. That gave Sam a 2 minutes head start on John. On foot, Sam ran 1:04:17 and John ran 1:02:22 — John was 1:55 faster than Sam. Sam took official place 162nd (time-based 160th) and John took official place 166th (time-based 120th). Sam's head start was enough to flip the official order even though John was faster on foot. Biggest swing: John gained 1:52 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
