On foot, James ran 1:25:57 and Kathryn ran 1:27:47 — James was 1:50 faster than Kathryn. James took official place 863rd (time-based 812th) and Kathryn took official place 858th (time-based 859th). Kathryn's head start was enough to flip the official order even though James was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Kathryn gained 1:54 from Cardiac to White Gate.
