Interpretation
Rachael (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM; Laura (J-DR) started at 8:37 AM. That gave Laura a 5 minutes head start on Rachael. On foot, Rachael ran 2:03:53 and Laura ran 2:08:38 — Rachael was 4:45 faster than Laura. Rachael took official place 1321st (time-based 1305th) and Laura took official place 1319th (time-based 1327th). Laura's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Rachael was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Rachael gained 3:39 from Cardiac to White Gate.
