My interest in ultrarunning initially veered me in the wrong direction with this one.
I first thought the times were %H:%M.%S, but I was mistaken. As per the solution, they're supposed to be %M:%S (in milliseconds). By changing Tara's missing time from '04:30.48' to '03:31.48' (from Carisa's '04:31.48'), I'm getting the same results now.
I have way too many tools, and I know that this could be paired down quite a bit, but this was a good challenge!
This was more complex than expected, but appears to be a good solution. I ignored the fractional seconds in ranking, but it seems not to have affected the results
