Interpretation
Luke (SCR-DR) started at 8:52 AM; Michael (Z-DR) started at 8:51 AM. That gave Michael a 1 minute head start on Luke. On foot, Luke ran 1:17:45 and Michael ran 1:18:41 — Luke was 0:56 faster than Michael. Luke took official place 824th (time-based 574th) and Michael took official place 823rd (time-based 602nd). Michael's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Luke was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Michael gained 1:06 from Cardiac to White Gate.
