Interpretation
Liz (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Mikko (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM. That gave Mikko a 2 minutes head start on Liz. On foot, Liz ran 1:30:16 and Mikko ran 1:32:01 — Liz was 1:45 faster than Mikko. Liz took official place 915th (time-based 916th) and Mikko took official place 910th (time-based 943rd). Mikko's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Liz was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Liz gained 2:44 from Cardiac to White Gate.
