Interpretation
Noah (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM; Ed (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM. That gave Ed a 4 minutes head start on Noah. On foot, Noah ran 1:17:47 and Ed ran 1:21:35 — Noah was 3:48 faster than Ed. Noah took official place 803rd (time-based 575th) and Ed took official place 801st (time-based 694th). Ed's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Noah was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Noah gained 1:26 from Cardiac to White Gate.
