Interpretation
Zach (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Francisco (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM. That gave Francisco a 1 minute head start on Zach. On foot, Zach ran 1:20:50 and Francisco ran 1:21:48 — Zach was 0:58 faster than Francisco. Zach took official place 884th (time-based 672nd) and Francisco took official place 883rd (time-based 703rd). Francisco's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Zach was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Zach gained 0:50 from White Gate to The Stile.
