Interpretation
Zach (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Mary (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Mary a 12 minutes head start on Zach. On foot, Zach ran 1:20:32 and Mary ran 1:32:11 — Zach was 11:39 faster than Mary. Zach took official place 874th (time-based 663rd) and Mary took official place 871st (time-based 948th). Mary's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Zach was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Zach gained 3:52 from Cardiac to White Gate.
