Albert (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Mary (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Mary a 11 minutes head start on Albert. On foot, Albert ran 1:21:19 and Mary ran 1:32:11 — Albert was 10:52 faster than Mary. Albert took official place 872nd (time-based 686th) and Mary took official place 871st (time-based 948th). Mary's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Albert was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Albert gained 5:19 from Cardiac to White Gate.
