That was rough seeing them do a U-turn. Lucky break for the local guy, though. The Chicago Marathon winner was the first U.S.-born winner since 1982. Another wrong turn:During the New York City Marathon race in November, he recovered from a wrong turn seven-tenths of a mile before the finish that put him 40 yards behind his countryman BenjamÃn Paredes. He ran a 5:15 final mile, including the detour, to beat Paredes by two seconds with a time of 2:11:21.[6] The incident earned him the nickname "Wrong-Way Silva".
