Interpretation
Michael (U-DR) started at 8:46 AM; Becca (P-DR) started at 8:42 AM. That gave Becca a 4 minutes head start on Michael. On foot, Michael ran 1:16:58 and Becca ran 1:20:42 — Michael was 3:44 faster than Becca. Michael took official place 682nd (time-based 552nd) and Becca took official place 678th (time-based 667th). Becca's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Michael was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Michael gained 1:25 from Cardiac to White Gate.
