Interpretation
Paul (W-INV) started at 8:21 AM; David (P-INV) started at 8:15 AM. That gave David a 6 minutes head start on Paul. On foot, Paul ran 1:12:39 and David ran 1:18:31 — Paul was 5:52 faster than David. Paul took official place 405th (time-based 411th) and David took official place 404th (time-based 594th). David's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Paul was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Paul gained 1:39 from Cardiac to White Gate.
