Corrida Caja los Andes

There were a couple 10k's that I ran that were super huge because the woman and man that won got tickets to Columbia to represent Chile in the Bogota Half Marathon next year. There are about 8 races in Chile all put on by the same organization and the winners from all those races make the team that gets all expenses paid to go to Columbia. So naturally I wanted to win. Turns out, when it's a bigger race, more people show up. In the first race in Iquique I ended up getting second. So I tried again the following weekend in a different city and the same girl that won in Iquique was there. This time she tried to help me though since she already won her tickets. But this time I got third...a Peruvian showed up and flew right past me. So again I missed it by just one spot. Oh well...I guess Columbia just wasn't in the plans for me this time.
