Your official place uses the head-start handicap: every Group B runner left 22 minutes after scratch, so the official clock measures finish order. Your actual time is the raw stopwatch from when you crossed the start to when you crossed the finish — that's what we use below to ask "how did you do versus runners who started with you, and how would you have stacked up in the other wave?"
