On foot, Miles ran 1:23:08 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 34:39 faster than Miles. Miles took official place 956th (time-based 743rd) 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 16:23 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
