Interpretation
Tien (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Rick (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Rick a 11 minutes head start on Tien. On foot, Tien ran 2:02:54 and Rick ran 2:12:35 — Tien was 9:41 faster than Rick. Tien took official place 1348th (time-based 1303rd) and Rick took official place 1345th (time-based 1338th). Rick's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Tien was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Tien gained 4:13 from Cardiac to White Gate.
