On foot, Fiona ran 1:30:43 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 42:14 faster than Fiona. Fiona took official place 855th (time-based 920th) and Edward took official place 2nd (time-based 1st). Edward was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Edward gained 17:35 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
