Interpretation
Mark (K-DR) started at 8:38 AM; Sarah (G-DR) started at 8:35 AM. That gave Sarah a 3 minutes head start on Mark. On foot, Mark ran 1:35:30 and Sarah ran 1:38:14 — Mark was 2:44 faster than Sarah. Mark took official place 918th (time-based 1023rd) and Sarah took official place 914th (time-based 1070th). Sarah's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Mark was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Mark gained 1:45 from Cardiac to White Gate.
