Official Chronicle Marathon results were finally released after two bikers led hundreds of runners off course onto what turned out to be a shorcut in the July 28th race.  Nate Bowen of California escaped the fiasco to finish first in 2:31:46 after running the full course and so kept his title.  Officials gave second place to Bill McDonnell of Alaska, who also finished the complete course in 2:37:44.  Craig Vanderoef of Washington, who originally finished second after being led astray, officially took third with an adjusted time of 2:38:54, over three minutes slower than his original time.   In the women's race, first place finisher Magdalena Lewy of California was also misdirected, but her lead was so considerable that no one disputed her title.  Officials only tacked on a little over three minutes to Lewy's original time for a new one of 2:53:55.  Carolyn Doles of California took second place in 3:06:36 and Riva Rahl of Texas finished third in 3:08:39.
