On foot, Kai ran 1:13:30 and Julia ran 57:02 — Julia was 16:28 faster than Kai. Kai took official place 711th (time-based 436th) and Julia took official place 3rd (time-based 32nd). Julia was faster on foot and finished ahead on the official clock too. Biggest swing: Julia gained 6:14 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
