Interpretation
Polly (E-DR) started at 8:33 AM; Cathleen (AAA-DR) started at 8:27 AM. That gave Cathleen a 6 minutes head start on Polly. On foot, Polly ran 2:07:01 and Cathleen ran 2:12:42 — Polly was 5:41 faster than Cathleen. Polly took official place 1288th (time-based 1320th) and Cathleen took official place 1286th (time-based 1339th). Cathleen's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Polly was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Polly gained 2:15 from Cardiac to White Gate.
