Interpretation
Jon (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Mary (L-DR) started at 8:39 AM. That gave Mary a 11 minutes head start on Jon. On foot, Jon ran 1:21:30 and Mary ran 1:32:11 — Jon was 10:41 faster than Mary. Jon took official place 873rd (time-based 693rd) and Mary took official place 871st (time-based 948th). Mary's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Jon was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Jon gained 4:25 from Cardiac to White Gate.
