Interpretation
William (SCR-DR) started at 8:52 AM; Paul (Q-DR) started at 8:43 AM. That gave Paul a 9 minutes head start on William. On foot, William ran 1:19:04 and Paul ran 1:28:03 — William was 8:59 faster than Paul. William took official place 868th (time-based 619th) and Paul took official place 867th (time-based 866th). Paul's head start was enough to flip the official order even though William was faster on foot. Biggest swing: William gained 3:24 from Cardiac to White Gate.
