On foot, molly ran 1:32:06 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 43:37 faster than molly. molly took official place 955th (time-based 946th) 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 14:28 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
