On foot, Brian ran 1:14:45 and Vince ran 1:26:42 — Brian was 11:57 faster than Vince. Brian took official place 697th (time-based 471st) and Vince took official place 695th (time-based 824th). Vince's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Brian was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Brian gained 4:09 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
