Matt Maynard, a UK native who lives in Chile, heads towards the summit of Cerro Provincia during Day Two. (MEGHAN THIS IS FOR YOU: if you feel like it, you can also include his quote here…which is: “Quote me as saying that ‘us gringos with silly hats just aren’t used to the heat, and had to work harder at the altitude during this race compared to the local Chileans!'” Hahah. Your call.) Photo: Kirsten Kortebein
