On foot, Paula ran 1:56:07 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:07:38 faster than Paula. Paula took official place 1278th (time-based 1265th) 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 30:49 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
