On foot, Michael ran 1:34:47 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 46:18 faster than Michael. Michael took official place 1142nd (time-based 1006th) 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 18:22 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
