On Sunday, April 26, Alexandre Manzan conquered another important victory on the 2009 XTerra Brazil championship. Staged in the beautiful scenario of Teresópolis, in the Rio de Janeiro State, the event had João Carlos exit the water first with Manzan closely trailing him. Manzan took the lead during the bicycle leg and completed the event in first place with his well known running performance.

On a clear day with perfect weather, the event was very positive and there was great celebration among athletes after the event. Some of the organizers are considering a second event still this year, again in Teresópolis, to expand on the success of this first race, although specifics and probable dates were not provided.

We congratulate Alexandre Manzan on his victory and look forward to hist next races in the 2009 XTerra Brazil calendar.
