The front-most green car in this image is what I take to be waiting / yielding / positioned at the crosswalk threshold. (That would not be having entered the crosswalk.) This is the moment I think everyone here is interested in. At this exact point were there in-street pedestrians or still none? If there were no pedestrians yet in the crosswalk to yield to at this point, then anyone who went on to try to get in front of your car probably was crossing erratically and/or illegally (and definitely illegally if trying to get in front of you by leaving the crosswalk). But if there was already action when you were at this point - like the "runner" was already acting up, then maybe it would have been safer to yield here and the crosswalk still would not have been blocked.

So I would say a sudden runner moving diagonally toward a place not a sidewalk is an unfair obstacle that you had to deal with, if it truly appeared to be smooth sailing for you when you reached the point given above.
