On foot, Samuel ran 1:54:00 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:05:31 faster than Samuel. Samuel took official place 1323rd (time-based 1256th) 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 25:04 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
