On foot, Vince ran 1:26:42 and Brian ran 1:14:45 — Brian was 11:57 faster than Vince. Vince took official place 695th (time-based 824th) and Brian took official place 697th (time-based 471st). 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.
