Interpretation
Steven (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM; Michael (W-DR) started at 8:48 AM. That gave Steven a 6 minutes head start on Michael. On foot, Steven ran 1:46:28 and Michael ran 1:40:30 — Michael was 5:58 faster than Steven. Steven took official place 1201st (time-based 1189th) and Michael took official place 1202nd (time-based 1102nd). Steven's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Michael was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Michael gained 2:40 from Cardiac to White Gate.
