Interpretation
Noah (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Jennifer (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM. That gave Jennifer a 7 minutes head start on Noah. On foot, Noah ran 1:36:50 and Jennifer ran 1:43:40 — Noah was 6:50 faster than Jennifer. Noah took official place 1172nd (time-based 1054th) and Jennifer took official place 1169th (time-based 1150th). Jennifer's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Noah was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Noah gained 6:24 from Cardiac to White Gate.
