Unguja Ukuu ngalawa race

18 ngalawas off to a very slow start

and getting slower!

it had been neck and neck between "Elimu Kwanza" (Education first) and "Convoy"... but after 1hour 22 minutes "Elimu Kwanza" was on the home straight with quite a clear lead

Celebration bubbles (and no champagne in sight!)

happy faces among the crowd

colourful supporters
