Interpretation
John (V-DR) started at 8:47 AM; Ivy (N-DR) started at 8:41 AM. That gave Ivy a 6 minutes head start on John. On foot, John ran 1:53:48 and Ivy ran 1:59:15 — John was 5:27 faster than Ivy. John took official place 1295th (time-based 1255th) and Ivy took official place 1291st (time-based 1284th). Ivy's head start was enough to flip the official order even though John was faster on foot. Biggest swing: John gained 4:43 from Cardiac to White Gate.
