Have you ever wondered how a race works? When you have 100's or 1,000's of participants, how do the all the runners who begin nowhere near the starting line have a fair chance? The answer is simple.
There is the "gun time" that begins the race, which is the clock on display at the start / finish line. However, each runner has a timing chip attatched to one of his / her shoes.
You can be at the very back of the pack, starting several minutes behind those in the front, but each individual's time begins when they cross the starting line. Therefore, you can cross the finish line behind others, but if your individual time is faster, you will be the winner.
