On foot, Samir ran 1:23:54 and Edward ran 48:29 — Edward was 35:25 faster than Samir. Samir took official place 830th (time-based 765th) 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 16:19 from Muir Woods to Cardiac.
