Interpretation
Noah (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Luke (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Luke a 10 minutes head start on Noah. On foot, Noah ran 1:36:50 and Luke ran 1:46:35 — Noah was 9:45 faster than Luke. Noah took official place 1172nd (time-based 1054th) and Luke took official place 1167th (time-based 1191st). Luke's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Noah was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Noah gained 6:22 from Cardiac to White Gate.
