Interpretation
Noah (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Sean (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM. That gave Sean a 1 minute head start on Noah. On foot, Noah ran 1:36:50 and Sean ran 1:37:47 — Noah was 0:57 faster than Sean. Noah took official place 1172nd (time-based 1054th) and Sean took official place 1171st (time-based 1064th). Sean's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Noah was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Noah gained 1:24 from Cardiac to White Gate.
