Interpretation
Lou (AAA-INV) started at 8:00 AM; Cheryl (H-DR) started at 8:36 AM. That gave Lou a 36 minutes head start on Cheryl because the Runner wave starts 27 minutes after the Invitational wave. On foot, Lou ran 3:12:10 and Cheryl ran 2:40:09 — Cheryl was 32:01 faster than Lou. Lou took official place 1385th (time-based 1397th) and Cheryl took official place 1387th (time-based 1379th). Lou's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Cheryl was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Cheryl gained 9:01 from Cardiac to White Gate.
