You are in a straight 400 m race. You overtake the last person.

What position are you in now?

Some Thoughts Overtaking the last person | Comment 2 of 26 |
(In reply to Two guesses by Zach Bolinger)

Does the "last" person mean the person (with the possible exception of yoursel) in the last position, or does it mean the last(in sequence) of all the persons that you have overtaken (or can overtake)? In the first case, you'd be in the next-to-last position. In the second, you'd be leading the race.
