Interpretation
Tommy (Y-DR) started at 8:50 AM; Michael (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM. That gave Michael a 4 minutes head start on Tommy. On foot, Tommy ran 1:10:24 and Michael ran 1:14:20 — Tommy was 3:56 faster than Michael. Tommy took official place 644th (time-based 338th) and Michael took official place 641st (time-based 458th).
