On foot, Graham ran 1:19:40 and Samantha ran 1:29:33 — Graham was 9:53 faster than Samantha. Graham took official place 852nd (time-based 642nd) and Samantha took official place 848th (time-based 896th). Samantha's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Graham was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Graham gained 4:47 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
