Interpretation
Paul (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM; Albert (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM. That gave Paul a 7 minutes head start on Albert. On foot, Paul ran 1:28:03 and Albert ran 1:21:19 — Albert was 6:44 faster than Paul. Paul took official place 867th (time-based 866th) and Albert took official place 872nd (time-based 686th). Paul's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Albert was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Albert gained 3:07 from Cardiac to White Gate.
