MANILA, Philippines — Jermyn Prado showed no signs that she’s turning 32 in less than a month as she ruled the Elite Road Race to sweep all three Women Elite gold medals staked in the PhilCycling National Championships for Road.
Marcelo Felipe, who turned 35 only last Feb. 10, was as sharp as fellow veteran Prado and topped the Men Elite Road Race of the championships presented by the MVP Sports Foundation and Standard Insurance and organized by the PhilCycling headed by Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino.
“It’s all about training, dedication and the heart to keep on cycling,” said Prado, who also won the Criterium gold medal in Tagaytay City and the ITT on an uphill route from Tuy to Nasugbu in Batangas last week.
Prado clocked two hours, 39 minutes and 28.17 seconds in winning the 88-km race on a 44-km circuit covering Tuy, Balayan, Lian and Nasugbu with Maritoni Krogg coming in a wheel behind for silver and Kate Yasmin Aquino, who’s now a mom, crossing third for the bronze medal.
