On foot, Julia ran 2:06:56 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 1:18:27 faster than Julia. Julia took official place 1337th (time-based 1319th) 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 27:03 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
