On foot, Mason ran 1:34:28 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 45:59 faster than Mason. Mason took official place 969th (time-based 997th) 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 17:18 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
