The podium of the half marathon home of the RTP staff was made up of the majority of US Elite athletes. Rogério Matos was 1st and Hugo Ferreira did 3rd but impaired by mistake in the course. A training to prepare the cyclocross season, Both got good progress. Augusto Midão, Also preparing the time of XCO made 4th slug.
“The sensations were good!!! I started attacking from beginning, being my aim to train and the second not leave my teammate (Rogério Matos) to escape. I managed to achieve these two goals. Then I was trying to try the victory at the moment the 3 km da meta, My teammate and I stand out, We were gaining advantage to the 3rd classified, But as we deceive ourselves he leaned against us again!!! The victory from there was going to be discussed to Sprint, But as I got sick in the last single track, tive-me que contentar com o 3º lugar. fiquei muito feliz pelo meu primeiro pódio… Quero agradecer a toda a gente que me ajudou, em especial ao meu companheiro de treino Rogerio Matos…” – comenta Hugo Ferreira na sua página de Facebook.
Já Rogério Matos comentava:
“Ontem o treino foi realizado em Eja, prova de 33km, onde cheguei em 1º, com o amigo e colega de equipa Hugo Ferreira a ser 3º,chegando logo a poucos segundos de mim. Parabéns Hugo!
Há que continuar a batalhar no dia-a-dia dos treinos que esses resultados vão continuar a evoluir 😉
Um abraço também para o Augusto Midão, que vinha a liderar a prova até meio do percurso, mas um engano no percurso (tal como aconteceu comigo e quase todos os primeiros classificados da meia-maratona) you did it waste a lot of time and a victory almost certain. Hug friend.”
A WORD TO EXCELLENT PROCEDURE, Also athlete trained by US Elite , Augusto Midão, that due unhappy I could not hold the podium. Made an excellent 4th place.
Congratulations to all
