On foot, Tom ran 1:18:02 and Katharine ran 1:32:57 — Tom was 14:55 faster than Katharine. Tom took official place 788th (time-based 583rd) and Katharine took official place 785th (time-based 961st). Katharine's head start was enough to flip the official order even though Tom was faster on foot. Biggest swing: Tom gained 5:46 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
