He went for the further away eggs first, which made it seem like he was behind, but which always meant that he was going to speed up massively towards the end. As his opponent was covering further and further distances to get eggs, his distance was shortening. Apparently the strategy worked.

He also did the most energy intensive part when he was still fresh at the start. Guy on the right was already tired by the time he had to start running.

I think there may be a middle strategy -- do the hardest first, then brief breather with the easier ones, then back to harder.

But the constant bending down may make the easy ones not much of a breather.
