PCG athlete, Deborah Vega, and PCG coach,
Axel Santiago, won the first place in the duo category, and tenth place overall,
among 24 duos in two stages of the MTB Endurance race Punta a Punta event, held
in San Germán, Puerto Rico, on Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1st.
The event covered 100 miles in total, including a
lot of steeps (40%+) climbs (road and off-road), and river crossings in the
historic town of San Germán and surrounding towns. The key was setting a plan
for food and fluid ingestion that was followed by the book before, after, and
during the race, which helped them maintain a good performance level through
the whole race. The recovery though food and fluid ingestion is key during
stage races.
Good job for both! Congratulations for that peak
performance!
PCG Coach: Axel Santiago
