Yuda wins race but detour costs him record

JOHN YUDA admitted the detour he took in winning the BUPA Great South Run probably cost him the chance to break his own national record.

The 26-year-old from Tanzania momentarily went off course after following a television motorcycle rather than the lead car.

He kept his focus to recover and win the race but rued the lost time as he won in 46 minutes 45 seconds, 10 seconds shy of his Tanzanian record set in this race two years ago.
