Well it isn't impossible but it is sure frustrating
First thing is you have to get as many balloons as you can, with a 0.2 time one more balloon would have done it.
Don't worry about being behind the other person, in fact it is better to follow behind sometimes to avoid being hit, as long as you get more balloons and less bird hits you will get a better time.
On the lightning what I did was go in the small indent near the beginning where there was a cactuar stone and stand with my back against the wall, this would prevent you from moving and since you aren't moving you can't get attacked by enemies... an easier way would be to get an item equiped with the ability to avoid enemies.
