RAGE IN THE SAGE UPDATE:
The initial Mile High Multisport destination trip was a tremendous success. The Rage in The Sage Triathlon was held in beautiful Lake Mead on April 19th, The race off erred Sprint, Olympic and Half Ironman Distance options on what proved to be a very challenging course. With a water temperature of 58 degrees, a hilly/windy bike course and a run in the desert, this early season race tested early season fitness.
Leading the way for the MHM athletes was Marci Madruga with a 1st place age group finish and 5th place over all. Kristi Fitzgerald was the next MHM finisher, capturing 10th over all and 3rd in her age group.
Daniel Madruga, who is less than 6 moves removed from his horrific bicycle accident, which had him hospitalized for over a week, took 4th in his age group and 18th over all. Daniel reeled off one of the fastest bikes splits of the day and proved he is fully recovered. Coach Kathy, took 10th overall and finished 3rd in her age group. Steve Uccello, who did a 4 hour training ride the day before the race, and who vehemently denies he was sitting a poker table until the wee hours of the morning, finished out the MHH participants. With three podium spots and a fourth place finish, the overall trip was a huge success.
The rest of the trip consisted of booze, gambling and a trip to Hoover Dam. Discussions are already underway for our our next destination trip. Feel free to make suggestions!!
