On foot, John ran 1:28:53 and Timothy ran 1:24:58 — Timothy was 3:55 faster than John. John took official place 950th (time-based 884th) and Timothy took official place 952nd (time-based 791st). John's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Timothy was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Timothy gained 1:28 from Cardiac to White Gate.
