PCG athlete, Sanders Rodríguez (15 years old) and
his father, Santos, won the first place in the National Category (one day race)
in the Punta a Punta event, held in San Germán, Puerto Rico, on Sunday
September 1st.
The event covered near 50 miles, including a lot of
steeps climbs (road and off-road), and river crossings in the historic town of
San Germán and surrounding towns. This is Sander's first experience in a MTB
endurance race. This is part of his preparation for his future career as a
cyclist.
Now he'll be focusing his training on an Xterra
triathlon, to be held in November. Sanders father used to be a runner and now
is an amateur cyclist who fully supports Sanders in all his events.
Congratulations to Sanders and his father!
PCG Coach: Axel Santiago
