Cesar Lizano, Pre-Olympic Training Camp
Cesar Lizano, who will represent Costa Rica in the marathon at the Olympic Games this summer in London, ran 2:17:50 at last fall's Chicago Marathon, making him the only Costa Rican to achieve an Olympic qualifying standard. Lizano, who is coached by Competitor's Mario Fraioli, was in San Diego recently for a two-week training camp prior to competing in the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Half Marathon, where he finished third behind U.S. Olympians Meb Keflezighi and Ryan Hall.
