I am curious how you make the assumption that just because Phelps is a swimmer that Bolt would "most likely have an edge in pretty much every land based competition"?
I'd make that assumption not because Phelps is a swimmer, but because I've read in several articles that Phelps is a bit clumsy out of water.
A quick google search turned up:
“I’m a fish out of water. I’m a clumsy person,” Phelps said in response to how he hurt his wrist," www.timedfinals.com/.../
"Out of the water, Phelps admits, he is not the most graceful of athletes. He's clumsy enough to break his wrist while getting into a car, as he did last year. His coach, Bob Bowman, doesn't require Phelps to run to train because, well, Phelps isn't very good at it." www.tampabay.com/.../article768247.ece
"However his long torso and double jointed ankles make Phelps’ 195 frame clumsy and surprisingly delicate on dry land." www.thefemaleview.com/.../
