Interpretation
Michael (X-DR) started at 8:49 AM; Walter (K-DR) started at 8:38 AM. That gave Walter a 11 minutes head start on Michael. On foot, Michael ran 1:27:34 and Walter ran 1:38:25 — Michael was 10:51 faster than Walter. Michael took official place 1000th (time-based 852nd) and Walter took official place 996th (time-based 1072nd). Walter's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Michael was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Michael gained 4:00 from Cardiac to White Gate.
